Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man is set for a wide August release (Aug. 7) in about 2,000 theaters through Iconic Events, with Roth directing, producing and starring; Nas is an executive producer as part of The Horror Section’s slate.
A Florida ice cream truck driver, Michael Keetley, was sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing two brothers in a 2010 mistaken-identity shooting related to a $12 robbery. Keetley, who was left permanently disabled after being shot five times during the robbery, targeted the wrong people in retaliation for the attack. He was found guilty of two counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder. The victims had nothing to do with the attack on Keetley. Keetley's defense lawyers argued that he could not have physically carried out the shooting because of his injuries, but the judge sentenced him to six life sentences, to be served concurrently.
Michael Keetley, a former ice cream man, has been sentenced to life in prison for two counts of first-degree murder and four counts of attempted murder. Keetley was convicted of shooting six men playing cards on a front porch in Ruskin on Thanksgiving Day 2010. Prosecutors say Keetley was out for revenge after being robbed and shot while on his ice cream route. The surviving victims remember the shooter dressed as a law enforcement officer, with a long gun, and asking for a man named "Creeper." Keetley's lawyers plan to appeal the conviction.
