A man who shot and killed a Kent State student earlier this year was sentenced to death on Thursday. 

A Portage County Common Pleas Court judge sentenced 18-year-old Damantae Graham to death Thursday afternoon. On February 7, Massa was visiting friends at Ryan's Place apartments when Graham and two other men broke in.

During the attempted robbery, Massa was shot in the chest and he died from his injuries. The judge granted a motion was later filed to try Graham as an adult in the case.
