William Wheeler, 20, has been given 18 to 40 years in prison for his role in the Detroit playground shooting that killed 4-year-old Samir Grubbs and 18-year-old Daviyon Shelmonson-Bey. Wheeler drove the truck; the alleged shooter, Brandon Ware, faces sentencing on November 13.
Two young lives, gone on a playground in June last year.
