SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — An 18-year-old man has been sentenced to 50 years in prison, with parole possible after 15 years, after shots were fired into a New Year’s Eve party in Sioux City. The shooting killed 18-year-old Mia Kritis and wounded three others at the party. Carlos Morales, of Sioux City, pleaded guilty in August to second-degree murder and three counts of reckless use of a firearm. Prosecutors said Morales and two other people fired at least 27 shots into a house where dozens of people were attending the party. The other two defendants pleaded guilty earlier and must serve 35 years before being eligible for parole.
