SANFORD, Fla. (AP) - A Florida man has been sentenced to life in prison for fatally shooting his ex-girlfriend and her 8-year-old son, as well as wounding four others.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that 33-year-old Allen Cashe was sentenced Wednesday morning. He pleaded no contest last month to two counts of first-degree murder, four counts of attempted first-degree murder and a count of attempted first-degree felony murder as part of a deal with prosecutors to avoid the death penalty.
Police say Cashe killed Latina Herring in March 2017 after she demanded he move out of her home in Sanford, a suburb of Orlando.

Herring’s son, Branden Christian, was also fatally shot. Another son and Herring’s father were wounded.
Authorities say Cashe then went to a nearby street and shot two bystanders, including a high school student.
