Former Michigan State basketball player Keith Appling pleaded guilty to second-degree murder Monday, in connection with a fatal shooting that resulted in the death of his relative.
Appling also pleaded guilty to a felony firearm charge in connection to the shooting and death of Clyde Edmonds, 66, in 2021. As part of his plea deal, Appling agreed to a prison sentence of 18 to 40 years for the murder charge and another two consecutive years for the firearm charge. The other two counts of felony firearm that were brought against him are set to be dismissed during his sentence hearing on March 3.
