Douglas Scarborough plead guilty to fatally shooting 72-year-old Jerry Scarborough in 2019.
Douglas Scarborough/Source: Montgomery County Detention FacilityJudge James Anderson sentenced Douglas Scarborough to 20 years and 10 months in prison after he plead guilty to fatally shooting 72-year-old Jerry Scarborough.
District Attorney Daryl Bailey said on August 21, 2019, Douglas, who lived with his parents in Ramer, approached his father, Jerry, in the kitchen. Brandishing a firearm, he shot his father in the head, killing him. “This was a heinous, senseless crime,” said Bailey. “Jerry Scarborough was a very well-respected and much-loved member of our community. For his life to be ended in such a pointless, tragic way by his own son is truly heartbreaking. Though my Office believes Douglas Scarborough should have received a much longer sentence and asked the court to grant our recommendation, we respect Judge Anderson’s decision.
