GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A federal judge has sentenced a Michigan man who pleaded guilty to kidnapping and killing a 2-year-old girl to a second life sentence. Rashad Trice admitted he took Wynter Cole Smith from her Lansing home in July 2023 as part of a dispute with the girl’s mother, his former girlfriend. A search for the girl stretched from the state capital to the Detroit area. Her body was eventually found in a Detroit alley, strangled to death with a telephone cord. Federal prosecutors took jurisdiction over the case because the car and other tools used in the crime were made outside Michigan. U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker sentenced Trice to life in prison Friday, a week after Trice was sentenced to life in prison on state charges.
