Richmond, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - Rarmil Coley-Pettiford, one of the five men arrested following the shooting death of 15-year-old Tynashia Humphrey, was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Thursday. He has pled guilty to second-degree murder.

Back in September, two of the other men arrested following the shooting were each sentenced to 56 years in prison. A fifth man, 22-year-old Rashard Jackson, is awaiting trial.

Prosecutors say the men were in a gang, targeting someone one of the members had ongoing issues with. Humphrey was caught in the crossfire while she was walking back from the store on the outskirts of Gilpin Court.
