COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- The teenager found guilty of shooting and killing a man in a Walmart parking lot in 2010 was sentenced to life in prison plus 32 years Wednesday.

A judge handed down 19-year-old Jordan Ellis' fate almost two months after he was found guilty of first degree murder in the shooting death of 26-year-old Christopher Harmon in September of 2010.

Shortly after midnight that night, Harmon was in the parking lot of the East Platte Avenue Walmart in Colorado Springs when a car drove by. Ellis and Frank Miller, a former Fort Carson soldier, were in the car. They shot Harmon before driving away.

Miller was arrested about a week after the shooting and was found guilty of first and second degree murder in June 2011.
