NORFOLK
A Norfolk man will serve two years in prison, with another eight years suspended, after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of his girlfriend earlier this year.
Terrance Wright, who turned 25 this week, was sentenced today in Norfolk Circuit Court. He had entered the guilty plea in July.
He was charged in the shooting death of his girlfriend, 24-year-old Latonya Dickens, in her Norfolk apartment on March 8.
Amanda Howie, spokeswoman for the commonwealth's attorney, said prosecutors had the support of Dickens' mother in agreeing to the plea deal offered to Wright.

(NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
