ST. CHARLES, Ill. (AP) - A 21-year-old Joliet man has been sentenced to 105 years in prison for killing a man in Aurora two years ago during what authorities say was a drug deal that turned into a robbery.

The Aurora Beacon-News reports (http://trib.in/2fqm9DT) Kane County Circuit Judge Donald M. Tegeler Jr. sentenced Dimitri Green-Hosey to 35 years for first-degree murder and 20 years for armed robbery. Each count carried a mandatory 25-year enhancement for using a gun.

A jury found Green-Hosey guilty on Aug. 31 in the January 2014 killing of Arin Williams. Prosecutors said Green-Hosey and his brother arranged to buy marijuana from Williams, but decided to rob him instead.

His brother, Jaquan Green-Hosey, now 22, pleaded guilty in February to first-degree murder and was sentenced to 25 years.
