YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The man accused of shooting his friend with a shotgun has been sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison.

20-year-old Angel Campa was sentenced with one count of manslaughter after accepting a plea offer last month.

Campa accidentally shot and killed 19-year-old Raymond Ruiz in the chest near 3rd Avenue and 20th Street on June 10 of 2024.

The other convict in the case is 24-year-old Cody Meier, who got 36 months of supervised probation on one count of attemping to hinder prosecution. This after police say Meier had originally claimed he was the one show shot Ruiz before Campa turned himself in.

Campa will be transferred to the Arizona Department of Corrections to serve his sentence and is set to be released in 2034.
