<i> From Staff and Wire Reports</i>

A 15-year-old boy convicted of killing Indianapolis Colt defensive end Shane Curry was sentenced Friday to at least 18 years in prison, the maximum term under Ohio law.

Hamilton County prosecutors said Artise Anderson showed no remorse for having shot Curry, 24, at the wheel of his pickup truck in the parking lot of a Cincinnati nightclub May 3.

Anderson admitted to the shooting, but said he was scared and his gun went off accidentally.

Anderson said he approached Curry’s truck because Curry had seemed to challenge Anderson’s uncle in a dispute over a car blocking the nightclub’s driveway. But prosecutors and a witness said Curry did nothing to provoke the shooting.
