MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. (AP) - A man who shot a woman during a party at his New Jersey home two years ago is now headed to prison.
Burlington County prosecutors say 44-year-old Darren Winningham received a 10-year sentence Friday. The Riverside man had pleaded guilty last month to aggravated manslaughter in the April 2016 death of 35-year-old Nikita Cross.
The Galloway Township woman was shot in the chest during the party. But authorities have not said what sparked the shooting.
