YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — A man who killed two young men in a gang shooting in Toppenish was given the maximum 50-year prison term at his sentencing Monday in Yakima for second-degree murder and assault.

The Yakima Herald-Republic reports that 22-year-old Anthony Sanchez sat quietly in Yakima County Superior Court as relatives tearfully described the victims of the March 2009 shooting, 17-year-old Estevan Silva Jr. and 20-year-old Israel Diaz.

Sanchez’ 21-year-old sister, Isabel Sanchez, who was driving the car from which her brother fired, is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday.
