A Minnesota man pleaded guilty Friday to murder after a cancer-stricken Vietnam veteran on the way to dialysis appointment was fatally beaten in a “brutal, unprovoked, and irrational” road rage incident, prosecutors say.

Leslie Shawn Sanders, 53, admittedly punched 79-year-old Larry Lynn Myers repeatedly on June 27, 2022, and with such force that the Vietnam veteran died several days later from the senseless road rage attack that began with a minor traffic collision in Dundas.
