A 17-year-old in Toledo could be sentenced to life in prison after entering a plea in the killings of his former girlfriend and her brother.

Devonte Brown entered an Alford plea Friday to aggravated murder and other charges. That means he didn’t admit guilt but concedes prosecutors have enough evidence to convict him.

A judge in Toledo says the minimum sentence Brown could get is life in prison with parole eligibility after 20 years.

Police say he was 16 when he attacked the two teens last August along with their mother, who survived.
