CAMDEN -- A city man who was 16 at the time of a 2007 fatal shooting is headed to state prison for his role in the slaying, according to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.

Edwin Urbina, 24, pleaded guilty back in April to aggravated manslaughter. The 15-year sentence imposed last Friday by Superior Court Judge Steven Polansky comes as a result of the shooting death of 22-year-old Camden man Edwin Torres.

The Nov. 24, 2007 shooting that killed Torres occurred outside his home near 3rd and Erie streets, in Camden. According to the prosecutor's office, Torres and Urbina had been arguing when Urbina pulled out a gun and shot Torres "repeatedly."

According to the prosecutor's office, Urbina must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence in prison before being eligible for parole.
