Fargo Man Sentenced to 55 Years for Murder of Nadin Khoury

Levi Larteh sentenced to 55 years for Fargo murder

A Fargo man received a 55-year prison sentence on Monday for the 2025 shooting death of Nadin Khoury, Valley News Live reported.

Judge Susan Bailey handed down the sentence for the murder charge during a court proceeding in Fargo. According to court records, the 27-year-old Levi Larteh must serve 46 years and 9 months before he is eligible for parole, as the state’s 85% rule applies to his sentence.

Larteh will receive credit for 375 days he has already served in custody. The court also imposed a 10-year sentence for reckless endangerment, though Judge Bailey ordered that this sentence run concurrently with the murder conviction, as reported by KFGO.

The 2025 shooting in Fargo

The charges stem from an incident on October 27, 2025, in the 2700 block of 41st Street South. KFGO reported that Khoury, who was 28 years old, was shot multiple times in his apartment building and died at the scene.

Police investigators stated the shooting followed a confrontation between the two men, who reportedly knew each other. Valley News Live noted that investigators also linked the violence to a separate shots-fired incident reported in Fargo two nights prior to the killing.

Larteh was arrested the following morning at a gas station located in Barnesville. Following a five-day trial, a jury convicted him of both murder and reckless endangerment on August 31. The jurors also determined that the state proved Larteh used a firearm during the killing.

The sentencing advances the legal process following the August verdict. Under current court records, Larteh has a 30-day window from the date of the judgment to file an appeal.
