CHICAGO (AP) — A judge in Chicago has handed down a 180-year prison sentence for a man convicted of killing the brother of NBA player Quentin Richardson.
Thirty-one-year-old Lee Richardson Jr. was shot to death during a robbery on Chicago's South Side in December of 2005.
Authorities say 34-year-old Ishmael Clark and two co-defendants were robbing Richardson and his father in the family's yard when the shooting happened. Father Lee Richardson Sr. survived.
Cook County Judge Joseph Kazmierski sentenced Clark on Wednesday to 180 years for the murder and the attempted murder of three Chicago police officers. Prosecutors say Clark injured one officer and attempted to run down two more while acting as the getaway driver after the shooting.
The Orlando Magic signed Quentin Richardson as a free agent last month.
