A juvenile who fatally shot another student outside Arlington Lamar High School earlier this year will spend four decades behind bars.
Judge Alex Kim read the jury's unanimous punishment Thursday afternoon, telling the now-convicted 15-year-old he'd been sentenced to 40 years behind bars.
The teen is not being named because he is a minor. He faced a sentence between probation and up to 40 years in prison for the shooting death of Ja’Shawn Poirer.Kim said the juvenile must serve a minimum period of confinement and that he cannot be paroled by the Texas Juvenile Justice Department for 10 years. Kim said a hearing will be held on the juvenile's 19th birthday to determine if he will be turned over to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Investigators said back in March, the 15-year-old suspect brought a shotgun and fired into a crowd of students on the steps outside Lamar High School before classes began that day. Poirer – who had just moved to Arlington from Michigan at the beginning of the school year – was killed and another student was wounded.
