WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita man has been sentenced to nearly 16 years in prison after being convicted of killing his longtime girlfriend.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Sedgwick County District Court Judge Warren Wilbert sentenced Darnell D. Hall Jr. to 190 months in prison Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last month. The judge also ordered the 23-year-old man to pay $5,000 in restitution.

Hall is convicted of shooting 23-year-old Sabryna Guerrero-Newman twice in the abdomen during an argument at a residence in January 2015. He then dragged her limp body to her car, which was later found several blocks north.

Several of Guerrero-Newman’s relatives said in court that they had forgiven Hall for the killing but thought he deserved the maximum prison sentence of 200 months.
