8-year term in fatal shooting

The Baltimore Sun

An 18-year-old man has pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the shooting of a man who was using a toy gun to rob a drug dealer. He was sentenced to eight years in prison, the Baltimore state's attorney's office said. On Aug. 9, prosecutors said, Omar McGee learned that Troy Richardson, 30, of Dundalk was robbing a drug dealer in an alley off the 3400 block of Dupont Ave., near where McGee lived in Northwest Baltimore. McGee shot Richardson twice in the leg and once in the face, prosecutors said.

"The toy gun was next to the victim when paramedics and police arrived," prosecutors said in a statement.
