A Peoria man was sentenced to 80 years in prison Friday for the murder of a Manual High School student.
Jerry Snipes, Jr., 17, was shot ten times by two different shooters in the 2800 block of Linn Street on October 6, 2021. Prosecutors argued 21-year-old Jeremy Moore was one of those shooters, along with 21-year-old Gary Irby.
The Peoria County State's Attorney's Office had asked for a life sentence for Moore. Irby is set to stand trial in May. Tyranique White is also charged in connection with the murder.
