A man has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for killing a transgender teen.
Trevone Miller, who was 18 at the time of the homicide, has been convicted in the killing of Brayla Stone. He was convicted on a first-degree murder and a firearm enhancement charges.
Prosecutors say Miller killed Stone so she would not reveal they were in a sexual relationship.

Numerous vigils were held to honor her life.
Miller entered the guilty plea earlier this month.
The sentencing was filed Thursday by Pulaski County Judge Barry Simms.
