Man sentenced to life in girl’s killing
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) – An 18-year-old Springfield man has been sentenced to life in prison for the 2007 drive-by shooting death of a 14-year-old girl.
Shawn Shea was found guilty Friday of first-degree murder for killing Dymond McGowan when he fired into a group of people gathered outside a house. Prosecutors said the girl was the innocent victim of a gang dispute.
Shea’s attorney William O’Neil said his client was framed by fellow gang members. The Republican of Springfield reports Shea also protested his innocence in court on Friday.
At the time she was killed, police said McGowan had been reported missing from a foster home.
