A West Point man pleaded guilty Friday to an armed robbery on Nov. 14, 2009, that led to the shooting death of Joseph “Peace” Boison at Shell Food Mart on Vernon Street, where Boison worked as a clerk.

Rodrea Kenyata Harris, 38, a driver for A Cab in LaGrange, was sentenced to 14 years in prison and 16 years’ probation for armed robbery and theft by taking.

Co-defendant Christopher Lee Caruso, 18, earlier pleaded guilty to murder, armed robbery and other charges, and had agreed to testify against Harris. Caruso is scheduled to be sentenced next week.

Prosecutors said Harris didn’t go inside the store and there was no evidence that Harris knew Caruso was going to shoot the victim. They said the two defendants got to know each other after Caruso left a group home for troubled youth on Ridley Avenue about a month before the slaying.
