A man was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison in the death of a western Pennsylvania art student who authorities said was killed in an apparent drug deal that involved trading an iPad for heroin.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that 21-year-old Shilee Dixson of McKees Rocks was sentenced Monday in Allegheny County Court.
Dixson was convicted in a nonjury trial in October of second-degree murder, robbery, conspiracy and possession of a firearm by a minor in the May 2011 shooting death of 20-year-old Malachi Urbini, an Art Institute student.
Defense attorney Louis Emmi declined to comment.
Twenty-three-year-old Taivon Cunningham is awaiting trial in the case.
