A 51-year-old man has been sentenced to eight to 20 years in prison in the 2008 shooting death of another man in the Las Vegas area.

Ralph Fuller pleaded guilty in November to voluntary manslaughter with use of a deadly weapon.

Forty-eight-year-old Michael McDaniels was killed in December 2008 at an intersection. Witnesses told Las Vegas police that Fuller got out of his vehicle, walked up to McDaniels' window and fired multiple rounds before returning to his vehicle and fleeing.

Authorities said the two men were in a dispute over money to buy drugs.

Fuller apologized in court before he was sentenced Wednesday.
