CLEVELAND — A 19-year-old has pleaded guilty to aggravated murder in the deaths of Cleveland Police officer James Skernivitz and Scott Dingess.
According to Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O'Malley, Kevin Robinson was sentenced to life in prison and won't be eligible for parole for 28 years.
In Sept. 2020, Skernivitz and Dingess were in an unmarked patrol car getting ready for an undercover drug operation when they were killed in what prosecutors described as a botched robbery.
Dingess was wearing a recording device that captured the shooting.
Robinson pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated murder and two counts of robbery.
David McDaniel is accused in the two murders, and if he is convicted, will face the death penalty.
