Capital Murder Trial Continues

court room

Testimony resumes this morning at the Jefferson County courthouse in the capital murder

trial of Chandler Kyle Ventress. The Beaumont man is on trial for the 2015 shooting death

of Mettha Kuruppu, who was shot and killed during a robbery at the Pick-N-Shop store on

Major Drive. If convicted, Ventress will receive an automatic life sentence as the state is

not seeking the death penalty. A second suspect, Sean Johnson, is awaiting trial.
