18 year old sentenced to 29 to 37 years behind bars

An 18 year-old Wilmington man will serve decades behind bars for a 2008 murder.

Obrian Hester pleaded guilty Monday in the murder of Michelle Crutchfield. Tuesday, he was sentenced to 29 to 37 years in prison.

Assistant District Attorney Jon David said this is a firm but fair sentence for Hester who fatally shot Crutchfield in the Creekwood neighborhood last September.
