He pleaded guilty in September to killing Aryah Lipford back in July 2015, just days before her 2nd birthday.

The girl's mother, Rachel Quesenberry, was shot multiple times but survived.

During court testimony in September, the Commonwealth's Attorney said the shooting happened over an argument about Hunter's car.
