Rashawn Carter, 30, of Philadelphia, was the last of four defendants convicted of the murder.
CAMDEN -- The last defendant in a 2009 robbery of a Woodlynne bakery that led to the death of its owner was sentenced Friday to 107 years in state prison.
Rashawn Carter, 30, of Philadelphia, was sentenced to 55 years for murder, 48 years for three counts of armed robbery and four years for criminal restraint.
He will not be eligible for parole until serving at least 87 years of his sentence, per the No Early Release Act.
Carter was one of four men convicted for the Oct. 14, 2009, shooting death of 29-year-old Oscar Hernandez at Alex's Bakery in Woodlyne. Hernandez was shot during the failed robbery while his wife and several customers were at the store.
A jury convicted Carter and William Cooper Jr., 37, of Camden, in November 2014 for murder, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery and criminal restraint. Cooper was also convicted of conspiracy to possess a weapon.
Cooper was the shooter in the incident and was sentenced last month to 124 years in state prison.

Cooper shot Hernandez while they were trying to open the register at the bakery. The robbers fled without any money.
Two other accomplices were also involved in the murder, according to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.
Maurice Carter, 33, of Philadelphia, pled guilty in September 2014 to conspiracy to commit robbery and was sentenced in December 2014 to 10 years in state prison.
His sister, Latasha Baker, 36, of Woodlynne, pled guilty in April 2014 to murder, conspiracy and robbery. She was sentenced in June 2014 to 45 years in state prison and an additional 18 months in prison for hindering.
Baker acted as a lookout during the robbery attempt -- having posed as a customer in the bakery on the day of the murder. She was also in telephone contact with Carter leading up to and after the incident.
She was in the bakery when the armed men attempted to rob the place and pretended to be a victim. She told police that the robbers took her cellphone but the authorities later found her phone at her house. After checking phone records, they were able to identify the other defendants.
Further investigation was done by going over surveillance footage and speaking with witnesses.
