A Hermitage man charged with the murder of a Hickory High School football standout has learned his fate.

Twenty-nine-year-old Zechariah Sewell was handed an indefinite sentence of 13 to 35 years in prison on one charge of third degree murder.

The charge stems from the shooting death of 24-year-old Charles Carr in a home on the 2000 Block of Shadyside Drive back in March of 2023. Witnesses told police Sewell pulled out a gun from his waistband and shot Carr several times during an argument.

Sewell was caught on a security camera at the home where the shooting happened.

Hickory School Board members described Carr as a "football legend" on the school district's football team.
