A 26-year-old Lilburn man is set to be sentenced Thursday for firing a gunshot into an apartment that accidentally killed a 13-year-old boy.
Joshua Banks, who was initially charged with murder, was convicted Feb. 17 of the lesser crime of involuntary manslaughter following a jury trial in Gwinnett County.
A stray bullet fired into the air by Banks in January 2010 pierced the window of Tre Shambry's bedroom and killed Shambry as he climbed the ladder to his bunk bed in Holland Park Apartments in Lawrenceville.
