A Renton teen will be sentenced today for his role in an alleged May 5 attack at the Renton Transit Center.

Solinuu Leae, 16, pleaded guilty to robbery in the first degree and assault in the second degree earlier this month, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. He will be sentenced at 1 p.m. today at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in courtroom 3A before Judge Barbara Mack. The sentencing range is 51 to 68 months in prison.
