LACKAWANNA COUNTY, Pa. — A man could spend up to 40 years behind bars for a deadly shooting in Lackawanna County.
That shooting happened in June 2022 in Spring Brook Township.
Investigators say Evan Wasko shot and killed 17-year-old Joseph Roberson.
On Monday, Wasko pled guilty to third-degree murder. He faces a possible sentence of 20 to 40 years in prison.
A second suspect, Liam O'Malley, pleaded guilty earlier this year to terroristic threats and other charges.
Wasko and O'Malley are awaiting sentencing in Lackawanna County.
An earlier version of this story stated that Evan Wasko had been sentenced. He has not. Newswatch 16 regrets the error and apologizes for any confusion.
