Two men were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the 2020 murder of a Philadelphia high school student.

On Thursday the Philadelphia District Attorney announced 22 year old Saedair Lindsey and 30 year old Tyrek McWilliams conviction and sentencing.

Williams was taken to a local hospital where he died from his injuries. Two other teens were also injured during the shooting.
