LAS VEGAS (KSNV News3LV) — Two men who were 19 years old when they shot and killed a 22-year-old woman walking home from work were sentenced today at the Regional Justice Center.

My-Son McNair, 22, and Daivion Moore, 21, entered guilty pleas Jan. 31 for the Nov. 11, 2014 death of Laura McKinney on Simmons Street near Vegas Drive. Police say McNair and Moore tried to rob the victim, shot her and then took off. McKinney only had 8 cents on her.

Moore received a sentence of 20 to 50 years in prison, plus consecutive 12 to 30 months’ weapons enhancement. McNair received a sentence of 10 to 25 years in prison, plus consecutive 72 to 240 months’ weapons enhancement.

Judge Michael Villani allowed the co-defendants to speak. Both had written statements of apology. Moore's was read by his attorney while McNair choose to read his statement himself.

"I want to apologize to the victim's family, there's not enough apologizing in the world that could bring that young lady back," said McNair.

McNair's attorney, Mace Yampolsky, argued on his client's behalf, asking Judge Villani to give McNair the lighter sentence of only one to three years behind bars. Yampolsky told the judge his client was not the one to pull the trigger.

Five members of the victim, including McKinney’s parents, spoke in the courtroom of Judge Michael Villani, wanting the maximum sentencing for men charged with her murder.

"I still wait for her call, I wake up at night and still check my phone and then i realize that she can't call me now because they killed her," said Laura Flaggs, McKinney's mother.

McKinney's brother, John Flaggs, choked up as he spoke while her mother fought back her tears.

"It is impossible to replace such a loving caring and forgiving soul," said Flaggs.

"She grew inside me; her flesh was my flesh. They killed the best of me, leaving a hole in my heart that will never heal," said Laura Flaggs.

The family made it clear that although these co-defendants were young men, they wanted tough sentences. They say they will deal with the pain of losing Laura every day.

"She was a much better person than me. She would have had mercy on these two men's souls, but I pray that the court does not," said Pebbles Franco, McKinney's sister.
