Tevin Alvarez was sentenced Friday in Schenectady County court to 20 years to life in prison.
He took a plea deal in November, rather than go on trial for second degree murder.
Ieasha Merritt was killed when Alvarez and another man opened fire in a parking lot during an altercation.
Merritt was hit in the head by a stray bullet – she was not the intended target.
