Six months for manslaughter

APOn Wednesday, a judge in Petersburg, Va. sentenced Norman Jose Carcamo-Arias, 25, to 10 years in prison with nine years and six months suspended. In December 2009, he pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of his roommate, Josiel Venturi Garcia-Orbina, 24.

Since Arias, a Honduran national, has already been in jail for a year, local law enforcement are now just waiting for him to be picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation.

Petersburg Senior Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Kenneth Blalock told the Richmond-Times Dispatch: “They said they were going to come down and pick him up to deport him back to Honduras.â€
