An Elmira Man is sentenced in the death of a Mexican national earlier this year.

Kharii Monroe was sentenced to a year in prison for the death of Israel Luna. He pleaded guilty last month to third degree assault.

Monroe is one of three men charged in connection with the killing. Prosecutors say there was a fight, Luna was knocked unconscious, and his body was later put in a dumpster.

The two other suspects include a minor and 36-year-old Fabian Bonaparte. They still face one count each of criminally negligent homicide.
