District man sentenced to 18 years for fatal 2020 shooting of ex-girlfriend

As she lay on a sidewalk in Northwest Washington four years ago, her body riddled with bullets, Shantal Hill spoke her last words to a police officer who held her in his arms, trying to provide help.

She identified her attacker as her ex-boyfriend, Carson Posey. She then made a final plea. “I can’t die,” she told the officer, according to court documents. “I have children.”
