GREEN BAY, Wis. — A man who shot and killed an unarmed Green Bay teen has been sentenced to 40 years in prison.

Nineteen-year-old Julio Gonzalez, of Oneida, pleaded no contest in May to being a party to first-degree reckless homicide in the 2012 shooting death of Jeremy Teller. Press-Gazette Media report (http://gbpg.net/17uxNSx ) the sentence was the result of a plea deal. He could have received life in prison.

Another defendant, 26-year-old Miguel Garcia, of Oneida, was sentenced Friday to 15 years for being party to felony murder. Three other defendants have received lesser sentences, while two others await sentencing.

Prosecutors say the defendants were looking for someone else to get revenge for an earlier fight when they confronted Teller, and that Gonzalez shot Teller in the back as he lay on the ground.
