PITTSBURGH (AP) - A third person has been sentenced in the kidnapping and slaying of a Pittsburgh man last year that authorities said stemmed from a drug deal gone bad.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (https://bit.ly/2f94Mg0 ) reports that 25-year-old Erica Harris apologized before she was sentenced to 20 to 45 years in the March 2016 death of 21-year-old Saevon Scott-Ponder, whose bullet-riddled body was found near Pittsburgh’s Beltzhoover neighborhood.
Twenty-two-year-old Mitchell Coles and 21-year-old Johnnie Raines also pleaded guilty to third-degree murder. Coles was sentenced to 20 to 50 years and Raines to 20 to 45 years.
