Killer Gets Life for Gunning Down His Boss as She Listened to Gospel Music at SEPTA Bus Stop

Randolph Sanders guilty of killing boss over money dispute at work

Jurors have convicted a children's aid worker in Philadelphia of gunning down his boss at a bus stop after she confronted him about $42,000 in missing funds.

A judge on Monday sentenced 39-year-old Randolph Sanders to life in prison without parole for the 2015 first-degree murder of 56-year-old Kim Jones.

Jones was shot in the back of the head while she waited at 12th and Jefferson streets for a SEPTA bus to take her to Turning Points for Children in 2015.

Surveillance video captured the suspect pull a handgun from a duffel bag, point it at the back of Jones' head and pull the trigger. Jones was listening to gospel music at the time, police said. The shooter then calmly walked away.

Jurors had seen Sanders tell detectives on videotape that Jones had accused him of mismanaging money and he feared he would be fired. Sanders had testified that he confessed after 30 hours of questioning.

Sanders' attorney says he'll appeal. [[238427591, C]]
