SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) — A Scottsbluff man convicted of stomping another man to death has been sentenced to 16 to 20 years in prison.

33-year-old Chris Murrillo was sentenced Friday in Scotts Bluff County District Court for the November death of 36-year-old Abraham Crane of Scottsbluff.

Murrillo pleaded no contest last month to manslaughter in a deal with prosecutors, who had originally charged Murrillo with second-degree murder and assault in Crane’s death.

Scottsbluff police say Murrillo had been drinking when he attacked Crane after the two friends had argued. Police say Crane was severely beaten and kicked and found in an alley on Nov. 16. Crane died 13 days later at Regional West Medical Center.
