A man convicted in the 2020 killing of a 19-year-old in San Francisco's Portola neighborhood will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars, prosecutors said.

District Attorney Brooke Jenkins' office announced Friday that 25-year-old Zion Young received a 50-year-to-life sentence after being found guilty in the death of Kelvin Chew.

"Mr. Young's sentence reflects the gravity of his crimes," Jenkins said in a statement. "The taking of Kelvin Chew's young life was senseless and left his family, friends and community grieving."

Young was convicted earlier this year of first-degree murder and attempted robbery, with an allegation that he personally and intentionally discharged a firearm that caused great bodily or injury. He had also pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a firearm.
