FLORENCE, S.C. (AP) — Prosecutors say a Florence man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for killing his 55-year-old uncle nearly three years ago.

Authorities told WBTW-TV (http://bit.ly/mTwkDZ ) that 26-year-old Christopher Russ pleaded guilty to murder Monday.

Investigators say James Craig was found shot to death inside his Florence home in December 2008. His 1990 burgundy Nissan 300-Z also was missing.

Police say the door to Craig’s home had been forced open.
