JonJon Crummie, 21, pleaded no contest in February to second-degree murder and using a handgun to kill 19-year-old Irais Acosta Olvera on Feb. 16, 2014, in the bedroom the couple shared at Crummie’s parents’ Raymond Avenue home.
Prosecutors said Crummie, who was sentenced Thursday, shot Acosta in the forehead at point-blank range after she told him she was leaving him.
His mother brought him in to surrender to police at County-USC Medical Center the day after the shooting.
