ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - A 29-year-old man has pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter for killing a businessman outside a Rochester strip club last spring.

Christian Rodriguez was arrested by police in Glendale, Arizona, in October and charged with shooting 63-year-old David Bourne in the head in May 2016.

Bourne was president and founder of a mail processing company with offices in Buffalo and Rochester. He lived in the Rochester suburb of Greece.



The Monroe County District Attorney’s Office says Rodriguez pleaded guilty to manslaughter on Friday and will be sentenced to 20 years in prison on July 27.
