Three men charged in a shooting death in Forest Lawn more than a year ago have pleaded guilty in the case.
Abiem Kuol Abiem, 23, was found dead inside a home in the 2400 block of 47 Street S.E. on Nov. 11, 2016.
After a lengthy standoff with police, the trio was arrested three days later and all were charged with first-degree murder.
