DOVER, Del. (AP) - A Philadelphia man has been sentenced to life in prison for the slaying of a father of eight during a 2015 home invasion in Delaware.

The News Journal reports Abdul White was sentenced Tuesday in 40-year-old John Harmon’s death. That came after White was convicted of first-degree murder along with 68 other crimes by a jury in November.

Harmon, who used a wheelchair as the result of being shot two years earlier, was shot after White and two other men broke into his Milford home and held several people hostage.
