Primus was found guilty on several charges, including first-degree murder, on Jan. 23, 2024.
“It’s extremely frustrating that we lost yet another member of our community to senseless violence; and another individual to life in a penitentiary,” said DA Zappala. “However, this verdict reinforces the fact that the ladies and gentlemen of law enforcement, and our citizens most affected by violence are prepared and most capable of holding those responsible for violence accountable for their actions.”
Primus’ co-conspirator in the crime was not identified, the DA’s office said.
