The man who killed philanthropist Jacqueline Avant was sentenced to 190 years to life in prison on Tuesday, the LA District Attorney's office said in a statement. Avant was shot and killed in her Beverly Hills home in December.
The sentencing comes one month after Aariel Maynor, 30, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, attempted murder and possession of a firearm by a felon as well as two counts of first-degree residential burglary with person present. He also said he used an assault long barrel pistol during the crimes, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said.
In the early hours of December 1, Maynor broke into Avant's home and fatally shot the 81-year-old. He also shot at a security guard at the home, but the security guard was not injured. Hours after the deadly armed robbery, Maynor accidentally shot himself while breaking into a Hollywood Hills home, prosecutors said.
