LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln woman has been sentenced to two years in prison for her role as the getaway driver following a fatal shooting earlier this year.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that 18-year-old Americle Fuqua was sentenced Tuesday in Lancaster County District Court. With credit for time already served, Fuqua is expected to be released in about six months.
Fuqua was one of four young people charged in the March 26 shooting death of 22-year-old Edgar Union Jr. One of those is a teenager who has been charged with second-degree murder after being arrested in April in Gulfport, Mississippi.
Police say the shooting happened after a confrontation involving more than 20 people from rival Lincoln gangs. Union died on the porch of a Lincoln home.
