Colorado Man Gets 5 Years For Teen's Death

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO -- A Colorado man will serve five years in prison for his role in the murder of a teenage boy in 2015. The Gazette reported Raymond Rogan Sr. was sentenced this week for the deadly shooting of Desmond Smith.

"Prosecutors say he tried to get rid of the murder weapon and shell casings afterward to protect two family members who were involved – a son and brother – dealing what could have been a fatal blow to a Colorado Springs police investigation," the Gazette reported.

The Gazette said Rogan's brother was "convicted at a July trial of pulling the trigger and is serving two life terms plus 48 years in prison." Rogan's son, Raymond Rogan Jr., is also serving time for his role, the newspaper said.
