60-year sentence in 1999 Gary slaying

Calling the 1999 kidnapping and murder of a Broadview shop owner a "cold and calculated execution," Cook County Judge Lawrence Flood sentenced 48-year-old Kevin Mitchell to 60 years in prison Thursday, the maximum sentence allowed.

Mitchell was charged in 2013 with the slaying of Darryl Green after tests confirmed Green's DNA was in a van that Mitchell was driving at the time of the murder.

After he was kidnapped from his Beep the Twinz business in Broadview, Green was taken to a secluded area in Gary, where witnesses heard shots fired from the woods. Green was found with three bullet wounds to the head.

Two other men, David McAfee and Raymond Winters, pleaded guilty in the case and are serving 30- and 10-year sentences respectively. A fourth man, Dimeyon Cole, is awaiting trial.
