TRUMBULL COUNTY Judge sentences 19-year-old to 20 years for shooting death
Prosecutors agreed to reduce the murder charge to involuntary manslaughter.
WARREN -- A 19-year-old accused of causing the death of a 21-year-old man has received a sentence of 20 years in prison.
Judge John Stuard sentenced Michael Doll on Thursday in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court.
Doll, who authorities said stayed with friends in the Youngstown-Warren area, pleaded guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter with a gun specification, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary.
The judge sentenced Doll to 10 years on the involuntary manslaughter charge, seven years on aggravated robbery, seven years on the aggravated burglary and three years on the gun specification charge.
The seven years on the aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary charges will run concurrently, the judge ruled.
He had faced a murder charge, but prosecutors agreed to reduce that to involuntary manslaughter in exchange for his guilty plea.
Another person sought
Police said Doll is responsible for the death of Michael E. May, 21, who was shot at a a North Street N.W. residence shortly before 11 a.m. March 21. Police have been looking for another man, Jody Hayes, 21, in May's death.
Hayes is about 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighs 195 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes.
Police think the shooting was a narcotics robbery that turned into a gunbattle.
