RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Travis Ball, already sentenced to 36 years behind bars for killing Virginia State Police Special Agent Mike Walter in May 2017, was sentenced to an additional 10 years for a weapons charge.
The Department of Justice said in a statement Thursday that Ball, who shot and killed Walter on May 26, 2017, during a traffic stop in Mosby Court, was sentenced for his illegal possession of a firearm used in the fatal slaying.
