Two Warren County men who broke into the home of an elderly couple and shot them in the head during a robbery will spend 60 years in prison and their accomplice will spend 20 years behind bars.
Circuit Judge Isadore Patrick sentenced Rodriquez Lenez Lyons, 20 and Tierre Jante Hill, 23, to 60 years in prison for two counts of attempted murder.  Under state law, they must serve the sentence day-for-day.
“You are responsible for your acts and have forfeited your right to walk among society,” Patrick told Hill and Lyons as they stood before him for sentencing.
The maximum sentence possible was life, and both Lyons and Hill will be in their 80s before they are eligible for release.
The two men entered a home on Shenandoah Road shortly before 9 p.m. on Jan. 14 where they robbed and beat a 78-year-old man and his 74-year-old wife before shooting them both in the head with a .22-caliber rifle.
“They did not deserve what took place to them last January when they were the prey chosen by these predators. They were stalked. The plan was to stalk them, rob them, beat them and execute them,” the eldest son of the couple said in court.
Their accomplice, 17-year-old Kenjarvis Thomas, sat in the car while the robbery occurred.

Patrick sentenced their accomplice Thomas to 20 years in prison for two counts of armed robbery.
“Your saving grace is age and that you never left the car,” Patrick told the teenager who hung his head during most of the sentencing hearing.
During the hearing, Patrick told the men that he had been horrified to learn of the crime and had at first assumed that the perpetrators must be from out of town.
“I didn’t think anyone from Warren County would do this to a fellow citizen,” Patrick said.
The three men followed the couple home after they left a casino on Warrenton Road. Investigators identified the car the men were riding in as belonging to Lyons’ girlfriend.
Once inside the house, they beat the couple and stole a cellphone, a laptop computer, a purse, a rifle and a shotgun, according to court records.
The man was dragged into a bedroom and the woman was dragged against a wall, their son said.
“They were no physical threat. These individuals could have just left,” the son said of the robbers.
Hill and Lyons then put a gun to the back of the man’s head and fired before doing the same to the woman.
“As she began to pray out loud, she was shot, and only by the grace of God is this not a sentencing hearing for murder,” the son said.
Both survived the shooting, but the man has since died. His death was not related to the shooting, Warren County Coroner Doug Huskey said.
