Ausama Mohamed, 19, was originally charged with second-degree murder in the death of Itgel Baatarsuren.

Police were called to the Sheldon Chumir Centre for reports of a man being dropped off with a gunshot wound. Baatarsuren, 22, later died in hospital.

Before his trial started last December, Mohamed pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.

In court Tuesday, a judge gave Mohamed credit for time already spent in custody.  He now has five years and seven months remaining on his sentence.
