The man who last year admitted to killing ACCESS employee Gracielita Flores 22 years ago was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison in Wayne County Circuit Court today, according to court records.
Kelly Michael Brady, 45, of Fort Pierce, Fl., was charged in 2012 for the murder of Flores, who was killed inside the city’s southend ACCESS Center on July 12, 1991.
