In Virginia, however, prisoners are considered for release each year once they turn 60.

Dixon was found guilty in November of shooting and robbing Antwan Rucker in a hotel parking lot.

A woman, Sharika Murphy, was also charged in the case.

She pleaded guilty in 2016 and is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday.
