FORT WORTH, Texas — A 45-year-old North Texas man was sentenced 40 years after he pleaded guilty last month to murdering his 65-year-old girlfriend in 2021.  Officials said Anthony Shaw Young and Laurel Schick met through Narcotics Anonymous and had been engaged before calling off the wedding. According to the Tarrant County District Attorney , Schick was running out of money after the two used much of what she had to buy illegal drugs. The weekend they initially planned to marry turned violent, officials said.
