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 Marcus D. Boykin, 40, on Friday to 50 years for his attempted murder conviction and another 36 years for various weapons offenses and other charges. Those sentences will run concurrently with Boykin’s 50-year prison term.
A jury had convicted Boykin in February of attempted murder for firing a shot in June 2021 at Decatur Police Officer Chris Snyder, the Herald & Review reported. During his trial, jurors were told that Boykin drove right up to Snyder’s parked squad car and fired a single shot at him from almost point blank range.
