BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A 24-year-old Baton Rouge man has been sentenced to 50 years in prison after pleading guilty in the 2007 shooting death of a 17-year-old boy.

The Advocate reports Darryl Stovall, who was scheduled to stand trial this week on a second-degree murder charge, pleaded guilty Monday to manslaughter and armed robbery charges in the March 2, 2007, slaying of Devion Goings.

Another man, Norman Galle, also 24, pleaded guilty Tuesday as an accessory after the fact and was sentenced to five years in prison.
