Erie man sentenced for second murder

A man convicted of killing his girlfriend in Erie and already serving time in Texas for another murder will be spending a few more decades behind bars.

39-year-old Marcus Gibbs was sentenced Tuesday to 26 to 52 years in prison for killing Selena Wall in 2018.

Wall was shot multiple times in her Hess Avenue apartment.

She lived for two days, long enough to tell investigators who pulled the trigger.   

According to Erie County Assistant DA Hilliary Hoffman, Gibbs will begin serving his prison sentence in Pennsylvania after his 25-year sentence in Texas for a 2019 murder in Austin.
