DES MOINES, Iowa — One of the teenagers charged in the fatal shooting at East High School last March has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder.
Romeo Perdomo on Tuesday was sentenced to life in prison, but with the eventual possibility of parole, according to court documents.
While first-degree murder typically carries a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole, Perdomo's plea agreement with prosecutors includes the possibility of parole as well as four other charges being dropped.
He is one of 10 teenagers charged with murdering 15-year-old Jose Lopez and injuring Lopez's sister and her friend.
Perdomo is also ordered to pay $150,000 in restitution.
