According to court documents, Carreras shot 19-year-old Hunter Woodson 11 times in late November. The shooting occurred after Carreras purchased a bag filled with paprika, salt and pepper believing it was marijuana.
Carreras declined to speak at the sentencing hearing Thursday.
Woodson’s mother addressed the court, saying her grandson will grow up not knowing his father because of Carreras.
Judge Thomas Kay told Carreras that he had “taken from the mother, family and girlfriend something they cannot replace.”
