🚨 COP KILLER FOUND GUILTY
📍 COLBERT COUNTY, AL

A Colbert County jury has found Brian Lansing Martin guilty on all charges, including capital murder, in connection with the 2021 killing of Sheffield Police Sgt. Nick Risner.

The verdict was handed down Thursday afternoon following the trial in Colbert County.

Martin’s legal proceedings are not over. He is also expected to face a separate trial in connection with the 2021 killing of William Mealback, who was killed prior to the confrontation that ultimately led to Sgt. Risner’s death. That case will be handled separately from the charges decided by the jury today.

Martin was convicted nearly five years after the shooting that claimed the life of Sgt. Risner.

Martin also has a previous homicide conviction. He was released from prison in 2016 after serving approximately three years for killing his father.
