The first of six people charged in connection with the death of 18-year-old Skylar Powell has been sentenced.

Justin Smith was sentenced Wednesday to a total of 13-years in prison.

Powell was killed in May in what prosecutors believe was a drug transaction and attempted robbery gone wrong.

Smith was previously charged with voluntary manslaughter and armed criminal action in connection with the case. As part of his plea Wednesday, Judge Patrick Robb sentenced Smith to serve 10 years for possession with intent to distribute and three years for armed criminal action. The sentences are to run consecutively.

Five other suspects pleaded guilty to charges earlier this month and are waiting to be sentenced.
