Trevor Woodruff, now 21, pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder after deliberation in connection with the shooting. Other charges against him were dropped as part of the plea agreement.
Woodruff was immediately sentenced to 30 years in prison for each count.
