RED BANK, N.J. (AP) - A man who fatally stabbed a volunteer firefighter during a street confrontation last year is now headed to state prison.
Demar Reevey received a 13-year sentence Friday. He had pleaded guilty in May to aggravated manslaughter.
Monmouth County prosecutors have said the 24-year-old Red Bank man and 26-year-old Andrew Hill had been feuding over Reevey’s girlfriend. The dispute culminated on May 27, when Reevey stabbed Hill once during a fight in Red Bank.
