ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A man convicted of shooting another man in the back of the head in Brooklyn Park has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Twenty-four-year-old Lamont Dorian Beasley of Baltimore had been convicted in May of attempted first-degree murder. He was sentenced Thursday in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court.
