CRESTVIEW — Erich Lenquell Justice, 17, has been sentenced to 25 years prison on second-degree murder with a firearm, racketeering and conspiracy to commit racketeering.

The racketeering charges involved the sale of illegal drugs in the Okaloosa County area.
Circuit Judge Michael Flowers imposed the 25-year prison sentence.
The investigation and arrest were conducted by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant State Attorney Jonathan Schlechter was responsible for the prosecution.
Tentative trial dates for Nunnally, Russell and Wilkins are March 14, May 9 and April 11, respectively.
