Wichita man gets 24 years for fatal shooting

? A 19-year-old man who admitted shooting another Wichita teenager has been sentenced to more than 24 years in prison.

A Sedgwick County District judge sentenced Brandon Hardyway on Friday.

Prosecutors said Hardyway shot and killed 19-year-old Robert Ridge last year after claiming that Ridge looked at him the wrong way while sitting at an East Wichita intersection.

He pleaded guilty last month to second-degree murder, as well as aggravated assault and criminal discharge of a firearm.

Hardyway apologized to Ridge’s family.

But he also told the court he was unhappy with his defense team, saying he’d been told he would get less than the maximum sentence if he pleaded guilty.

The judge told him he wasn’t required to do that.
