The person responsible for the 2014 death of Jaylen Sandhu in Surrey has been sentenced.
Lekendric Martez Smith was originally charged as a youth offender with second-degree murder.
However, he pleaded guilty to an adult charge of manslaughter and, while he received a sentence of eight years in prison, will serve just under seven years with time served.
Smith is not allowed to own firearms and must also provide a DNA sample to officials.
