Swanson, 18, is looking at life in prison, the Des Moines Register reports. He was 17 when he killed Shelia Myers, 61, at a Kum & Go in Humboldt on Nov. 15, but Swanson was tried as an adult.

The teenager also allegedly murdered a second store clerk, 47-year-old Vicky Bowman-Hall, the same night in a town about 25 miles from Humboldt. He will stand trial in that case next month.
