A Chapel Hill couple has been sentenced for the death of the woman’s grandmother. 24-year-old Lindsey Mae Johnson and 22-year-old Nicasio Antonio Guzman were sentenced in Danville Circuit Court on Friday. Guzman received a 45-year sentence for a first-degree murder charge, while Johnson will serve 40 years for second-degree murder.

The incident occurred in October 2021 when authorities found 88-year-old Elizabeth Morris Adkins dead inside of her home. Adkins was found with a plastic bag around her head with blood coming from her head. Her hands and feet were also tied.
