decades behind bars following a deadly shooting that claimed another man&#8217;s life in October 2025.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Levi Larteh was sentenced Monday, November 9, 2026, to 55 years in prison for the murder of Nadin Khoury.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The sentence follows a jury conviction for murder and reckless endangerment in Cass County District Court.<\/p>\n<h2>Judge Orders 55-Year Prison Sentence<\/h2>\n<p>District Judge Susan Bailey sentenced Larteh to 55 years in the North Dakota Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p>Under North Dakota&#8217;s 85% sentencing rule, Larteh must serve at least 46 years and nine months before becoming eligible for parole.<\/p>\n<p>Court records show he will receive credit for 375 days already spent in custody.<\/p>\n<p>Larteh also received a 10-year sentence for reckless endangerment involving a firearm.<\/p>\n<p>That sentence will run concurrently with the murder sentence, meaning both prison terms will be served at the same time.<\/p>\n<h2>Victim Found Shot at Fargo Apartment Building<\/h2>\n<p>The murder occurred October 27, 2025, in the 2700 block of 41st Street South in Fargo.<\/p>\n<p>Officers responded to reports of gunfire at an apartment building around 9:27 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities discovered 28-year-old Nadin Khoury suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n<p>Emergency responders attempted lifesaving measures before Khoury was transported to a hospital.<\/p>\n<p>He was pronounced dead shortly afterward.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators determined the shooting followed a confrontation between individuals who reportedly knew each other.<\/p>\n<p>Police also investigated a possible connection to another shots-fired incident reported in Fargo two nights earlier.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_72776\"
