AURORA, Colo. A man who pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree murder for the fatal shooting of a man over illegal marijuana has been sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Jahlil Meshesha, 21, received the sentence on Tuesday after taking a plea deal in the case on Jan. 23. Chief Deputy District Attorney Brian Sugioka called the killing “senseless” and said that the victim, 24-year-old Jahmar Leckman, was killed over “a couple ounces of weed.”
