A Maryland teen convicted of murder for the fatal shooting of a 14-year-old was sentenced to 20 years in prison Friday, according to Harford County court officials.

Kevin Kinsey was 16 years old when he shot and killed Jai'den Winchester at a Halloween party in November 2024, court documents show.

Winchester was a student and football player at Havre De Grace High School. He died after he was shot in the head while sitting in the backseat of a car with Kinsey.
