LIMA, OH (WLIO) - A Lima teen already in prison for armed robbery pleads guilty to a 2019 murder.
19-year-old Na'Zier Howard changed his plea Wednesday afternoon. He was indicted for the death of Ke'Vonta Cowan. Howard was 17 years old at the time of the murder and he allegedly shot Cowan at a home on Kenilworth Avenue. Cowan was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
As part of Howard's plea agreement, prosecutors dropped another murder charge and a weapons while under disability charge. Howard will be sentenced next month and could get 15 years to life for murder.
Howard is currently in prison serving a 14-year sentence for robbing Hermies Party Shop and Little Caesars in January 2020.
