TOLEDO, Ohio — A man was sentenced to prison Wednesday after he was convicted of murder in the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old last year.
Edward Griffin, 20, was sentenced to 18 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to murder with a gun specification for shooting and killing Mark Wortham outside of a home on Amsterdam Road near Richards Road on April 21, 2023.
The other suspect in the case, 19-year-old Franklin Robinson, pleaded guilty to an obstructing justice charge in March. He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 10.
