NORFOLK, Va. – Kamron ‘Kam’ Sellers pleaded guilty to two counts of second degree murder Monday morning in a Norfolk courtroom.

Sellers was charged with the shooting deaths of 33-year-old Jeffrey Stallings and 20-year-old Casey Kayser back in April 2016.

A co-defendant in the case, Quedell Higgs, was convicted in Norfolk Circuit Court of 2 counts of 2nd Degree Murder and was sentenced to 80 years in prison, 40 for each count against him.

Police were called to the 5400 block of Ashby Street on April 18, 2016, just before 10 p.m. When they arrived, they found Stallings and Kayser suffering from gunshot wounds.

Stallings was pronounced dead upon his arrival to the hospital. Kayser died from her injuries two days later.

Police quickly identified Higgs and Sellers as the suspects.

Sellers was arrested on April 30 in Charleston, South Carolina. He was extradited back to Virginia shortly after his arrest.

Police say Higgs was located in the 800 block of N. Military Highway and was arrested without incident. Norfolk Police credit a Crime Line tip in helping them locate Higgs.

Kayser’s family was in the court Monday morning but did not want to comment when the judge asked if they wanted to address the courtroom.

He is set to be sentenced on June 29.
