Newport News street gang member has been sentenced to life in prison for murder.
Federal prosecutors say 22-year-old Martin Manley also was sentenced to 40 years on racketeering and firearms charges Friday.
Manley pleaded guilty in October racketeering conspiracy, discharging a firearm during a crime of violence and using a firearm resulting in murder. The charges stem from a deadly shooting outside a Hampton club on Christmas Eve 2007.
As part of his plea, Manley admitted he was a member of the gang known as the Dump Squad. He was one of 11 people indicted in March on charges related to the Dump Squad's activities. Authorities contend the Newport News gang controlled neighborhoods through violence and intimidation.
