A former North Side man has been sent to state prison for 10 years for the killing of a Somali immigrant on Nov. 20, 2004, during a dispute.

 

In March, Rasi Robinson, 31, who lived on Dresden Street, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of voluntary manslaughter in front of Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Pat Sheeran.

Prosecutors said Robinson shot Sharif Sharif, 18, in front of 4286 Dresden St. Sharif died in an apartment.

Police and agents with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives jointly investigated the case.

Robinson also must serve 41 months in federal prison for the illegal purchase of two guns.
