SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A 26-year-old man faces up to five-years in prison for the death of a man during a fight at a Kimball Junction nightclub last year.

Finau Tukuafu pleaded guilty yesterday to reduced charges of third-degree felony homicide by assault in the shooting death of Kautoke Tangitau last October during a reggae concert at Club Suede.

Tukuafu faces up to five-years-in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced in October.

Summit County Sheriff's officers believe the shooting may have been gang-related.
