TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - A defendant convicted of the murder of a man who authorities said was lured into a New Jersey alley and shot has been sentenced to 38 years in prison.
NJ.com reports that Mada Eoff was 17 years old when 19-year-old Lance Beckett was killed in an alley in Trenton’s West Ward in September 2016.
Eoff opted for a trial after a judge ruled that he should be tried in adult court. He was convicted of murder in January.
