An argument that began over a comment on a Facebook post tragically escalated, leading to the death of Michael S. Stubbs, a 30-year-old Caucasian male, on November 5, 2014, in Omaha, Nebraska. The online dispute between Stubbs and 31-year-old Kenneth Armour moved from social media to a phone call, further intensifying the conflict. This ultimately culminated in a fatal shooting.
Before he succumbed to his injuries, Stubbs identified Armour as the person who had shot him.
This crucial piece of information was later revealed by a detective during a preliminary hearing. Based on this evidence and further investigation, authorities arrested and charged Kenneth Armour in connection with the homicide. Armour faced several felony charges, including first-degree murder.
The legal proceedings that followed found Armour responsible for the death of Stubbs. A judge sentenced Kenneth Armour to a term of 50 to 60 years in prison for second-degree murder. In addition to the murder sentence, Armour received a consecutive 10-year sentence for the charge of using a weapon to commit a felony, ensuring he would serve a lengthy time in prison for his role in the fatal confrontation that began with a simple online interaction.
