Third man sentenced in death of 2-year-old St. Joseph girl


ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) - A third man charged in the death of a 2-year-old St. Joseph girl has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. Te'Avion Waunya Hawkins was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to second-degree murder.

He admitted he was driving a car when someone fired shots at another vehicle on Aug. 9 last year. Two-year-old Raelynn Craig was killed. Two adults in the car with her were injured.

Hawkins received a lower sentence because he cooperated in identifying his co-conspirators. One co-defendant, Caimon Stillman, was sentenced to 24 years in prison and another, Marcain Kimbrough-Ballard, was sentenced to 26 years.
