After being arrested on an auto theft charge in Savannah, Georgia on September 22, 1994, Cherry, who had been staying at a Salvation Army shelter, was implicated in the murders of two women in Florida. He was charged with two counts of  first degree murder and convicted of the November 22, 1993, slaying of Wanda Robinson in St. Johns County, and the February 5, 1994, slaying of Christina Cooper in Putnam County. He was sentenced to life in prison for those murders on January 13, 1995. While initially denying his involvement, Cherry later confessed to the February 1, 1994, murder of Katherine Walker in St. Johns County, saying he had killed her while arguing over a drug deal. He was convicted and received another life sentence for killing Walker in 2010. See also
