TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A man accused in the 2017 death of another inmate at the state prison in Tucson has been given a 16-year sentence.
Ryan Wayne Bohannon was one of four men who allegedly stabbed 46-year-old Joseph Zawacki 50 times in the prison's courtyard in September 2017.
The 31-year-old Bohannon pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last month.
He will serve 16 consecutive years after his 24-year sentence for drug charges, armed robbery and aggravated assault.
Christopher Gregory Simpson, Tim Westly Weaver and Scott Mitchell Elrod also were indicted in the case.
Simpson has accepted a plea agreement for second-degree murder and is scheduled to be sentenced July 19.
State prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Weaver, who's serving a life sentence for two convictions involving 1995 murders.
Elrod's case remains ongoing.
