An 18-year-old pleaded guilty Monday in the death of an Oregon man found shot to death in June.

Nestor Diaz-Miller of Colton will be sentenced to life in prison for the murder of 19-year-old David Reed Stipe. He must serve 25 years before he is eligible for parole.

Two other young people were charged in the killing. Vanessa Morris was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter, robbery and burglary.

The alleged shooter, Brandon Adams of Canby, is scheduled to go to trial in February.

Stipe was found shot to death at his mother's home in Mulino.
