A 19-year-old Renton man was sentenced Friday to 69 years in prison in the shooting death of a homeless man and the wounding of three other people at a Seattle bus stop in September 2011.

Say Keodara was convicted earlier this month of one count of first-degree murder and three counts of first-degree assault. All four charges included firearm sentencing enhancements, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

Keodara was also convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm, based on a previous felony conviction.

The defendant tried to rob three homeless men at the bus shelter and became angry when they didn’t have any valuables or cash, according to prosecutors. A woman who had been waiting for a bus was also wounded in the shooting.
