An 18-year-old man yesterday pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter before he went to trial for murder.
Donavan Burrell shot Gregory Rolle Jr. in the stomach outside a bar in March 2012.
Rolle died two weeks after the shooting. But before his death, he identified Burrell as his attacker.
Burrell also gave a videotaped confession. Rolle had reportedly beaten up Burrell on a previous occasion.
Justice Indra Charles sentenced Burrell to 15 years' imprisonment after taking into account the two years he had spent on remand.
Terrel Butler represented Burrell.
