A Sebastian County circuit court judge sentenced 19-year-old Alberto Chavez on Thursday to 110 years in prison for the Jan. 14 shooting death of a rival gang member, but a deputy prosecutor said Chavez could be eligible for parole in 25 years.
A circuit court jury convicted Chavez on Wednesday of second-degree murder and seven counts of committing a terroristic act.
