COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- One of eight suspects in the shooting death of a Missouri football player's cousin has been sentenced to eight years in prison.

Twenty-one-year-old Deshon Houston was sentenced Tuesday in the 2010 death of Aaron Hobson of Wichita, Kan. He pleaded guilty to second-degree robbery in exchange for testifying against the other suspects.

Hobson was visiting Columbia in October 2010 to watch his cousin, Trey Hobson, play in the university's homecoming game. Aaron Hobson was meeting friends at a convenience store when he was robbed and shot.

The triggerman in the death, Daron Peal, has been sentenced to 45 years in prison.
