Brigham Yahir Mendez was charged as an adult in the 2018 shooting of Jacob Michael Clymer, 32, and pleaded guilty in October to second-degree murder.
According to prosecutors, Mendez met Clymer and his wife, Melinda Hatcher, on Oct. 31, 2018, in Aurora after arranging on Facebook to buy an Xbox gaming system for $250. After initially saying he could only pay $245, Mendez and a companion left the meeting place briefly and returned. After the couple agreed to accept the lower amount, Mendez, who was 15 at the time, pulled out a gun and shot Clymer repeatedly.
Mendez was initially charged with first-degree murder and attempted aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.
