The teenager convicted in the shooting death of a London man will spend another four years behind bars.
The unidentified 18-year-old was sentenced as a youth because he was 15-years-old when 49-year-old Steve Sinclair was fatally shot on Sept. 6, 2015, outside an east end after-hours club.
The teen has already spent three years in custody. His sentence includes three years under community supervision.
In February the teen was found guilty of second-degree murder following eight days of jury deliberations.
Sinclair was a member of the Gateskeeper, a support club to the Hells Angels.
The 18-year-old’s name won’t be released under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The Crown had pushed for the teen to be sentenced as an adult but that was rejected by Superior Court Justice Mark Garson.
Had the teen received an adult sentence, he could have received a life sentence with a parole ineligibility of five to seven years because he committed the murder before he turned 16.
