MIAMI, Fl- A South Florida man has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for fatally shooting his ex-girlfriend.

A Miami-Dade judge sentenced 29-year-old Larry Williams on Tuesday.

A jury convicted Williams in April of manslaughter with a deadly weapon and shooting a deadly missile into a building.

The Miami Herald reports that he had been charged with first-degree murder.

After a house party in August 2004, authorities say Williams got angry with then-17-year-old Lindsey Graham, who had told him she didn't want to see him anymore.

Williams retrieved an AK-47 from his car's trunk, went behind the home of Graham's grandmother and opened fire.

Graham was hit eight times, once in the neck.
