A 43-year Philadelphia man has been sentenced to prison for his role in six deadly shootings and an attempted murder. He later admitted four of the murders came at the bidding of a Philadelphia drug trafficker.

When Pressley faced a judge and entered a guilty plea in Sept. 2022, he admitted that four of the murders he carried out were murder-for-hire plots at the bidding of a Philadelphia drug trafficker.

Pressley's murderous track record stretches back to 2016, when prosecutors say he admitted to shooting someone to death as they sat on the front porch of a Philadelphia home. He also admitted to providing the location of a man he knew was wanted dead by a Philadelphia drug trafficker, which later resulted in a mistaken identity killing.

Prosecutors say Pressley ransacked a Philadelphia woman's home and tried to kill her when she arrived at the residence. Pressley tried to sell a Rolex watch taken from the woman's home at a Philadelphia pawn shop.
