FARGO, ND – (trfnews.i234.me) – A Fargo man will spend decades behind bars following a deadly shooting that claimed another man’s life in October 2025.
Levi Larteh was sentenced Monday, November 9, 2026, to 55 years in prison for the murder of Nadin Khoury.
The sentence follows a jury conviction for murder and reckless endangerment in Cass County District Court.
Judge Orders 55-Year Prison Sentence
District Judge Susan Bailey sentenced Larteh to 55 years in the North Dakota Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Under North Dakota’s 85% sentencing rule, Larteh must serve at least 46 years and nine months before becoming eligible for parole.
Court records show he will receive credit for 375 days already spent in custody.
Larteh also received a 10-year sentence for reckless endangerment involving a firearm.
That sentence will run concurrently with the murder sentence, meaning both prison terms will be served at the same time.
Victim Found Shot at Fargo Apartment Building
The murder occurred October 27, 2025, in the 2700 block of 41st Street South in Fargo.
Officers responded to reports of gunfire at an apartment building around 9:27 p.m.
Authorities discovered 28-year-old Nadin Khoury suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Emergency responders attempted lifesaving measures before Khoury was transported to a hospital.
He was pronounced dead shortly afterward.
Investigators determined the shooting followed a confrontation between individuals who reportedly knew each other.
Police also investigated a possible connection to another shots-fired incident reported in Fargo two nights earlier.
Suspect Arrested in Minnesota
Following the fatal shooting, investigators identified Larteh as a suspect.
On October 28, 2025, authorities arrested him at a gas station in Barnesville, Minnesota.
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office and Barnesville Police Department assisted in the arrest.
Larteh was initially booked into the Clay County Jail before facing prosecution in North Dakota.
The original investigation was documented in a Fargo Police Department news release.
Jury Found Larteh Guilty After Five-Day Trial
A Cass County jury found Larteh guilty on August 31, 2026, following a five-day criminal trial.
Jurors convicted him of murder and reckless endangerment.
They also determined prosecutors proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Larteh used a firearm during the killing.
The verdict cleared the way for the November sentencing hearing.
Appeal Deadline Remains Open
According to court records, Larteh has 30 days from the date of judgment to file an appeal.
The prison sentence does not guarantee release when he becomes eligible for parole.
Additional sentencing details were reported by Valley News Live.
