Attorney General Daniel Cameron's office has filed its intention to seek the death penalty for a man charged with the murder of Scott County Deputy Caleb Conley.
Steven Sheangshang is accused of murdering Conley during a traffic stop on I-75 back in May. The attorney general's office made the filing as a "Notice of Aggravating Circumstances" on Thursday.
Last month, a grand jury indicted Sheangshang on one count of Murder of a Police Officer (Capital Offense), one count of Convicted Felon in Possession of a Handgun (Class C Felony), one count of Robbery, First Degree (Class B Felony), two counts of Wanton Endangerment, First Degree (Class D Felony), and one count of Persistent Felony Offender, First Degree (Class A Felony).
Sheangshang pleaded not guilty during his last court appearance and will be back in court on Friday.
