HOULTON, Maine (AP) Two Massachusetts men are due to be sentenced for a drug-related killing in northern Maine.
Marcus Asante, of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, was convicted in November of the murder and robbery of an Oakfield man on Oct. 16, 2016. A second man, Darin Goulding, of Leominster, Massachusetts, testified against him under a plea agreement with prosecutors.
Both are scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday.
The body of 31-year-old Douglas Morin Jr. was found in his vehicle in Sherman, Maine. Prosecutors say it was Asante who shot the victim nine times.
Officials say Asante and Goulding were among three people who traveled from Massachusetts for a drug deal. The third defendant, Tia Leigh Ludwick, is already serving a 17-year prison sentence.
