A defendant charged in connection with an October homicide entered a guilty plea.
Tyrone Brown, 64, was initially charged with first-degree murder while armed in connection to the shooting death of 45-year-old Orlando Miller on the 1700 Block of Lang Place, NE, on Oct. 1, 2020. During the June 4 hearing, Brown pleaded down to a charge of voluntary manslaughter while armed.
As part of the plea deal, the prosecution agreed to dismiss another felony case, in which he was charged with distribution of a controlled substance. The prosecution also agreed not to pursue sentencing enhancements.
Judge Milton Lee scheduled Brown to be sentenced on Oct. 26.
