A Pickerington man has been sentenced to life in prison for killing two former high school classmates during a drug deal.  22-year-old Connor Jeffries pleaded guilty to murder and tampering with evidence charges.  Jeffries shot and killed 20-year-old Gary Francis and 21-year-old James Miller Junior last year in a Tussing Road parking lot in retaliation for their use of counterfeit money in a previous drug deal.
