Both McKinney and Henderson were convicted of the murder, and each of them received two consecutive life sentences. McKinney's girlfriend told police that he had been motivated by anti-gay sentiment but later recanted her statement, saying that she had lied because she thought it would help him. McKinney's defense counsel countered by arguing that he had intended only to rob Shepard but killed him in a rage when Shepard made a sexual advance toward him. The prosecutor argued that the murder of Shepard was premeditated and driven by greed. Significant media coverage was given to the murder and what role Shepard's sexual orientation played as a motive for the crime. Suspects Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson were arrested shortly after the attack and charged with first-degree murder following Shepard's death. He was taken by rescuers to Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado, where he died six days later from severe head injuries received during the attack.
