*White supremacist and convicted Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof will reportedly plead guilty to state murder charges later today (April 10).

Under a plea agreement, he’ll be sentenced to life in federal prison after being found guilty in federal court in December on both murder and hate crime charges. The 23-year-old was due to face a state trial this spring in the gunning down of nine African-Americans in June 2015 at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston.

Once he pleads guilty on Monday, Roof will mostly likely be transferred to a high-security prison in Terre Haute, Ind., where federal death row is located, said Andy Savage, a Charleston lawyer who represents families of the victims as well as the three survivors, according to TheState.com.

Roof was convicted of 33 federal charges last year and sentenced to death. Ninth Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson announced Roof’s state plea agreement March 31.
