DEPTFORD, N.J. (AP) - A southern New Jersey man who fatally shot an aspiring rapper during a recording session in now headed to state prison.
Marcel Steele received a 14-year sentence on Monday. The 23-year-old Deptford man had pleaded guilty last month to manslaughter, aggravated assault and a drug count.
Authorities have said Steele and 22-year-old Jodeci Robinson were at a Deptford home recording music on a makeshift studio Steele had set up in a bedroom when they got into a dispute over money in November 2018.
