CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) –
The man involved in the fatal shooting of a 23-year-old during a robbery went on a profanity-laced tirade during his sentencing.
23-year-old Jadell Van Horn was sentenced to 41-years to life on Tuesday morning. Upon hearing his sentence, an angry Van Horn spewed obscenities. He then demanded his lawyers to get him out of the courtroom.
According to police, Van Horn participated in the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Navario Banks on March 7, 2011. During the robbery, the victim was shot in the back of the head at his Warrensville Heights home.
