A Conroe man who pleaded guilty to shooting a TCU football player to death last year has been sentenced to life in prison. Kasey Davis was a freshman kicker for the Horned Frogs.

Police say he was gunned down in a car by 42-year-old Jeffrey Clay Lasiter in January 2006 while home for Christmas break. The shooting appeared to be random.

The two men did not know each other. Lasiter pleaded guilty Monday before the start of his trial.

His attorneys had argued that the divorced, unemployed father of two suffers from a mental illness.
