During Monday’s hearing, Stillman said he was a passenger in the car where the shots originated, The St. Joseph News-Press reported.
His sentencing is scheduled for April 23.
The two other suspects in the case, Marcain Kimbrough-Ballard and Te’Avion Hawkins, have court hearings scheduled this month. They are also charged with second-degree murder.
