JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man has been sentenced to life in prison for a fatal robbery that earned him and an accomplice $4.
The Florida Times-Union reports that 27-year-old Erron Coleman was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty last summer to second-degree murder.
Authorities say 20-year-old Daniel Eugene Rowe was attacked while taking out the trash behind the Blind Rabbit whiskey bar in July 2015.
Coleman said he meant to only scare him with the gun while an accomplice grabbed his wallet, but ended up shooting Rowe twice in the head. The accomplice, Devonte Hanford, was sentenced to 20 years after pleading guilty to second-degree murder.
