On July 20, 2016, Brumfield was resentenced to life in prison after he was ruled intellectually disabled and therefore ineligible for execution. Broadway remains on death row for his involvement in the murder, although it was Brumfield who actually fired the fatal shots which killed Smothers, Broadway had been the one to wound the grocery store manager. The getaway driver, West Paul, was sentenced to twenty-five years for his role in the murder. Paul was returned to jail in 2017 after he was booked on charges related to shoplifting. Prior to his return to jail he had only recently been released for his part in the murder of Smothers.
