LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A Lincoln teenager will spend the next several decades — and possibly the rest of his life — in prison for a deadly house party shooting.
Kashuan McCree, 19, was sentenced Thursday to 85 years to life in prison for first-degree murder and use of a firearm to commit a felony.
With credit for time served, he could be eligible for parole in about 41 years.

Police said McCree shot 18-year-old Damien Brave over a bag he was holding.
Brave went to a Lincoln hospital, where he died.
McCree, who was 17 at the time, was arrested six days later in Michigan.
