ST. CHARLES, Ill. (AP) - An Indiana man has been sentenced to 80 years in prison for trying to kill his ex-wife at the Chicago-area gas station where she worked.
A Kane County judge ordered the prison term on Monday for 50-year-old Kennrith Foster of East Chicago. He was convicted in October on attempted first-degree murder, armed robbery and other charges for the December 2017 attack at the business in the western Chicago suburb of Sugar Grove.
Foster entered the gas station about 3 a.m. and shot his former wife in the head, according to prosecutors. Foster then beat, strangled and stomped the woman before leaving the scene. The FBI arrested Foster 11 days later in Phoenix.
