KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City man convicted of federal drug and weapons charges faces considerable prison time after authorities linked him with several other crimes, including the 2013 deaths of a mother and her 3-year-old child.
Rashawn Long, 35, was sentenced Thursday to 30 years in federal prison without parole for illegally possessing a controlled substance and firearms. Federal sentencing guidelines would have called for him to face about 10 years in prison.
