OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Authorities say two Omaha residents have been sentenced to life in prison for killing two men during a drug robbery in December 2012.

Douglas County court records say 37-year-old Derrick Stricklin and 40-year-old Terrell Newman were sentenced on Wednesday. Each had been convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and several other crimes.

The bodies of 47-year-old Carlos Morales and 40-year-old Bernardo Noriega were found inside an auto body business on Dec. 2, 2012. A third man was inside the building but was not hurt. He identified Newman as one of the shooters.
