Michael Joe McGlothan was sentenced Dec. 20 after pleading no contest Nov. 3 to voluntary manslaughter and assault with a semiautomatic firearm, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
The case stems from an incident that occurred May 6, 2015.

McGlothan shot both his girlfriend and 21-year-old Ledarion Demont Allen Jr. who had been staying at his home, according to evidence presented at a preliminary hearing. Allen, a Lancaster resident, died as a result of his injuries, and the McGlothan’s girlfriend survived.
McGlothan fled the area and was located in New York nearly a month after the shooting.
The case was investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
