1Opinion of the Court

CHARLES B. BLACKMAR, Senior Judge.

The defendant was convicted of murder in the first degree (Sec. 565.020, RSMo 1994) and armed criminal action (Sec. 571.015, RSMo 1994), receiving sentences of life imprisonment without probation or parole and 30 years concurrently. Because he does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence on this appeal we do not need to set out the facts in detail, and simply state that three eyewitnesses identified defendant as the gunman who shot Shawn Meeks fatally at about 5 P.M. on March 9, 1995. We find no merit in the four points he raises, and so affirm.
