ST. LOUIS (AP) - A St. Louis man involved in three murders over a minor drug debt has been sentenced to life in prison.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Demante Syms, 26, was sentenced Tuesday.
Syms and two other men were seeking repayment of a heroin debt in 2015 when a man and two women were fatally shot.
Syms pleaded guilty to a heroin conspiracy charge, a gun charge and a charge of tampering with a witness.
Another man, Jacobi Temple, pleaded guilty in March to several counts. He's expected to get a 50-year sentence as part of a plea agreement.
The third man, Samuel Spires, was sentenced in May to 20 years in prison. He pleaded guilty to heroin conspiracy and a gun charge.
