A Bowie County jury has sentenced 21-year-old Malaki Scott Beckham to life in prison without parole for the 2024 shooting deaths of two 19-year-old men in New Boston. Beckham was convicted Friday of two counts of capital murder in the deaths of Princeton Washington Jr. and Nicholas Webster.
Prosecutors say Beckham and co-defendant Rondarrius “DaeDae” Evans fled the scene after the July 6 shooting on Hoskins Street. Washington died at the scene, and Webster died of his injuries days later. Security video showed Beckham leaving in a car registered to one victim’s mother.
Evans faces separate first-degree murder charges and is set for trial in March.
