Man Sentenced In 2008 Slaying

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) ― Prosecutors say a Washington man has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for the shooting death of a Hyattsville man last year.

Aaron Roberts, 31, was sentenced Wednesday in the slaying of Gregory Barron Jr. Roberts had pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in August.

Officials say on Aug. 28, 2008, Roberts went to a nightclub in Hyattsville and refused to be patted down by Barron, who was working as a bouncer at the club.

When Barron, 33, took a cigarette break a short time later, Roberts shot him several times and then fled.
