(KNZA)--A St. Joseph man convicted in the death of an elderly St. Joseph man during a carjacking in June has been sentenced to 30-years in prison.
28-year-old Paul Belding was handed the sentence Friday in a Buchanan County courtroom on a charge of 2nd-degree murder.
Belding pleaded guilty to the charge in late September.
Police say 77-year-old Richard Gray suffered a traumatic brain injury while trying to prevent Belding from taking his van June 13 from the parking lot of a St. Joseph convenience store. Gray died five days later at a local hospital.
The St. Joseph News Press reports Belding will have to serve 85 percent of his sentence before he can be considered for parole.
