Teen Pleads Guilty in Sister's Shooting Death A 15-year-old boy accused of shooting his older sister as she slept at their family's rural Arkansas home pleaded guilty Wednesday to second-degree murder. Colton Harvey was charged as an adult in the January shooting death of 16-year-old Candace Harvey. At a hearing Wednesday, the teen admitted he shot his sister three times. Prosecutors said Candace was asleep in her bed when her brother fired the shots into her head. Harvey was sentenced to 45 years in prison - 30 years on the second-degree murder charge and 15 years more because he used a gun. He had been charged as an adult with first-degree murder, which has a maximum penalty of life in prison. Harvey teared up as he addressed the judge Wednesday, at one point raising his handcuffed hands to his face so he could dab his eyes with a tissue. Authorities said the teen likely killed his sister one January morning after their parents left to go grocery shopping about 40 miles away. The sheriff said the teen seemed remorseful and had tears in his eyes when he turned himself in that same morning. Investigators found his sister's body in a bedroom at the family's home near Ozark, a town of about 3,600 roughly 120 miles northwest of Little Rock. The sheriff said the boy and his father were avid hunters and investigators confiscated multiple guns from the family's home and vehicle.
