DECATUR, Ill. (AP) — A man convicted of shooting at a Decatur police officer last year, setting off a police pursuit and standoff, has been sentenced to 50 years in prison.
A Macon County judge sentenced 40-year-old Marcus D. Boykin on Friday to 50 years for his attempted murder conviction and another 36 years for various weapons offenses and other charges.
The Herald & Review of Decatur reports those sentences will run concurrently with Boykin’s 50-year prison term. A jury convicted Boykin in February of attempted murder for firing a shot in June 2021 at Decatur Police Officer Chris Snyder. Boykin was arrested following a police pursuit and a standoff with officers.
