ST. LOUIS (AP) -- A St. Louis man is sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing a teenager at the city's Annie Malone Parade in 2005.
The sentence for 25-year-old Ramell Dante Dunn was handed down on Thursday.
The killing happened after the parade on May 15th, 2005. Prosecutors say Woodson was part of the crowd when he was gunned down.
The incident prompted organizers to move the Annie Malone parade to downtown from north St. Louis for safety concerns.
A near-riot broke out in the courtroom when Dunn was found guilty in February, when several of his relatives and friends stood up and began shouting.
