MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (KEYC) - The man who killed 15-year-old Deshaun Hill Jr. of Minneapolis received a maximum sentence today.

Cody Fohrenkam was found guilty of two Felony counts related to the shooting death of the Minneapolis student, last month.

Today, he was sentenced to 38-and-a-half years in prison following impact statements from Hill’s family.

Hill was shot and killed Feb. 9, last year, on a day where he left school early to attend a demonstration following the police killing of Amir Locke.
