   A Minnesota man has been sentenced to life in prison for killing a co-worker   
   in 2022 who repeatedly rejected his sexual advances.   
      
   Michael Jordan Carpenter was given a life sentence without parole last week   
   after he was found guilty of first-degree premeditated murder and   
   second-degree intentional murder, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison   
   announced.   
      
   Carpenter, 38, was convicted in August for killing his co-worker, Nicole   
   Hammond, the morning after they had an argument over text about his repeated   
   advances.   
      
   “Carpenter approached Hammond before her work shift in the parking lot of   
   Dubow Textile, armed with a 9mm pistol, and fired a single shot through   
   Hammond’s neck,” the attorney general said in a news release.   
      
   “My thoughts are with Nicole Hammond’s friends, family, and community   
   today. Nicole was a talented, kind, and caring soul who loved art and nature.   
   She will be missed by many,” Ellison added in a statement. “I am pleased   
   that today, the Court    
   held Michael Carpenter fully accountable for the crime he committed. I hope   
   this accountability is eventually able to bring some measure of peace to   
   Nicole’s loved ones.”   
      
   Carpenter was arrested less than three hours after killing Hammond, PEOPLE   
   previously reported. Text messages on her phone showed the pair had an   
   argument the night before in which she told him "she did not want to be   
   touched or manipulated by him,"    
   police said at the time in a statement.

   Local Fox 9 also reported at the time that multiple coworkers were aware of   
   Carpenter’s repeated harassment of Hammond, who was 28 when she was   
   murdered. But their boss told the outlet that "unfortunately, we had no   
   idea,” because no report was ever    
   made to upper management.   
      
   "Any time there is anything that requires our intervention we step in. But in   
   this case we had no indication that there was anything awry,” Hammond’s   
   boss Rob Dubow told Fox 9.   
      
   Dubow remembered Hammond as someone who “always had a smile on her face, and   
   anybody who had any association with her couldn’t help but like her."   
      
   At the time of her death, Hammond was “in the process of starting her own   
   jewelry business,” according to her obituary.   
      
   “Nikki was a very talented writer and also enjoyed working on her car with   
   her father, Steve,” her obituary added. “Nikki loved hiking, kayaking,   
   photography, beading, traveling and the ocean.  She eventually wanted to move   
   to Fort Meyers, Fla.     
   Nikki will be dearly missed by all who knew her.”
