A Clarksville man was convicted by a federal jury Wednesday on multiple charges including first-degree murder and attempted murder in connection to the 2018 death of his estranged wife, a Fort Campbell soldier.
On October 14, 2018, just five days after Brittney Silvers was granted a Domestic Violence Order against her estranged husband 33-year old Victor Silvers, federal prosecutors say he drove from his Clarksville home to the Army post where he shot her three times and then shot another man, James Keating.
Victor Silvers was also convicted on charges of domestic violence resulting in death, violation of a protective order resulting in death, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, and two counts of discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on February 22, 2023, before a U.S. District Court Judge for the Western District of Kentucky. Federal prosecutors say he faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
