Eighteen year old Brandon Early has been sentenced to life in prison plus 20 years for the Princess Anne murder of 35-year old Adrian Marshall.
Early was convicted by a first jury of first-degree murder.
The killing took place at Marshall’s home in Princess Anne on Thanksgiving Day of last year.
The trial took place in Dorchester County Circuit Court on a change of venue.
Judge Brett Wilson said he saw Early as a significant threat to the community before handing down the sentence.
Since Early was 17 years of age at the time of the shooting he will still be eligible for parole.
