PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - A Maine man who was convicted of shooting another man in 2014 and then fleeing the state has been sentenced to 39 years.
Abdirahman Haji-Hassan (ab-deer-RAH’-mun HAH’-jee-huh-san), of Portland, was convicted of murder in December, and a sentencing hearing was held Thursday.
Police say Haji-Hassan shot 23-year-old Richard Lobor during a dispute at another man’s apartment in Portland in November 2014. Police say Lobor had stepped in between Haji-Hassan and another man who were arguing.
Haji-Hassan fled afterward to Minneapolis, where he was arrested about a month later.
