A man who repeatedly made advances toward his female co-worker, got mad because she curbed him, so he reportedly murdered her.

On Friday, 38-year-old Michael Carpenter, was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his 28-year-old co-worker Nicole Hammond, KMSP reports.

Hammond rebuked Carpenter’s advances, which ultimately made him angry. Carpenter fired shots Oct. 24, 2022 in the parking lot of a textile factory where they worked, killing her. Police found her bleeding out in the parking lot with head wounds.

When he was sentenced, Carpenter allegedly smirked.

“He smirked so much it’s like now I want him behind the walls,” said Terri Anderson, Hammond’s mother, said, the outlet reported. “I just want him to pay for what he did to her.”

Carpenter repeatedly made advances toward Hammond in multiple text messages, including the night before she was murdered. She responded by “indicating [Hammond] did not want to be touched by the defendant [Carpenter], nor did she want to be manipulated by him,” the affidavit states

“She also informed him to not make things uncomfortable at work,” police wrote in the court document. “Officers also found a text from [Hammond] to another person who stated that the defendant was mad at her. In speaking with various co-workers, they indicated that the defendant had made numerous advances toward [Hammond] but his advances had been repeatedly rebuffed over the course of the past month. Co-workers also described the defendant as having a bad temper.”
