KENT, Wash. (AP) — A 20-year-old Seattle man was sentenced to 39 years in prison for a gang-related killing in Kent.
Edward E. Cobb was convicted last month of first-degree murder for shooting a 17-year-old from Seattle, Chazerey Bacchus, in July 2008, following an argument at the Kent Cornucopia Festival.
Kent police said the shooting was gang-related and that Cobb was wounded two hours later in Renton in retaliation.
Cobb was sentenced Tuesday at the Regional Justice Center in Kent.
