21-year-old Frank Briggs of East Germantown plead guilty today and was sentenced to 20-45 years in prison for a fatal shooting last year outside of a rapper's tour bus in South Philadelphia. The incident happened on February 28th, 2013 outside the Holiday Inn Express on Columbus Blvd. After a sold-out show at the TLA, rapper French Montana's tour bus returned to the hotel and was met by a large crowd. A black sedan pulled up and fired shots into the crowd killing 26-year-old Jowann King from Flushing, NY, and wounded a 28-year-old man also from NY. Investigators do not believe that Montana or any member of his entourage were the intended targets of the attack. Briggs did not make a statement prior to sentencing.
