(WPXI) – The man convicted of killing New Kensington police Officer Brian Shaw was officially sentenced to death Wednesday. Rahmael Holt was found guilty in November and the jury unanimously decided to sentence him to death. The official sentence was handed down by a judge. Holt was convicted of shooting and killing Shaw while running from a traffic stop in November 2017. Holt is being taken to the State Correctional Institution at Rockview. That is where the judge has ordered his death by lethal injection. Defense attorneys said while Wednesday’s sentencing was procedural and expected, they will appeal.
