A man has been sentenced for his part in the 2021 murder of Elkhart teenager Deontae Harris.

Tyren Allen admitted to assisting Sherman Whitener, who was convicted earlier this year, for Harris’ murder.

Police believe Allen took a gun from Harris’ body after the shooting, though Allen claimed it may have been a phone or keys.

Allen was originally arrested for theft in February but was later held to testify in Whitener’s trial.

The Goshen News says Allen was charged with assisting a criminal who assisted in or committed murder, as well as obstruction of justice.

Allen was sentenced to four years at the Indiana Department of Corrections with two suspended on reporting probation.
