A Boston man has admitted to his role in the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old boy in the city's South End section in 2014.
The Boston Globe reports Johnnie Bonnie pleaded guilty Wednesday to voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of Evens Archer on June 29, 2014.
District Attorney Daniel Conley said Bonnie's trial for the murder of Archer was set to begin on Wednesday when he pleaded to the manslaughter charge.
Prosecutors say Bonnie shot Archer in the head around 1:50 a.m. after the two attended the same South End party. Archer died about three weeks later.
Bonnie will be sentenced Thursday in Suffolk Superior Court. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
