New York Man Gets Life Sentence in Bennington Killing

The court imposed a life term with no chance of parole.

A New York man convicted in connection with a 2022 killing in Bennington will remain in prison for the rest of his life.

Elliott Russell, 49, was found guilty in May of first-degree murder. Prosecutors said the case stemmed from a dispute involving a woman, and that Russell brought Ulysses Ivey to a Green Mountain Power substation in Bennington before shooting him.

Authorities said Ivey managed to call 911 shortly after being shot and named Russell as the person who attacked him. Ivey later died from his injuries.

Russell’s sentencing concluded late in the afternoon, when the court imposed a life term with no chance of parole.
