Oscar R. Flores-ChicasAn illegal immigrant from Honduras who pleaded guilty to manslaughter earlier this year will spend at least 12 years in state prison.
A judge today sentenced Oscar R. Flores-Chicas to 15 years in prison with the stipulation that he serve at least 85percent of his sentence.

Flores-Chicas, 32, of Alpha admitted shooting Miguel Gonzalez-Euceda after a February 2007 fight outside the victim's Phillipsburg home. Police arrested Flores-Chicas 16 days after the shooting in a Houston apartment complex.

At the plea hearing in April, Flores-Chicas apologized to the victim's family, telling them, "We drank a lot...and I got mad and I shot him."
