Belleville, IL (KSDK) - A Washington Park, Illinois man was sentenced Wednesday to 45 years in prison for the murder of Dominic Brown.
Darius Jenkins, 35, was found guilty of first-degree murder in December.

Jenkins has been previously convicted of five other felonies for burglary, drug, and weapons offenses.
