PORTLAND — A man accused in a fatal shooting last year in the Parkside neighborhood pleaded guilty today to felony murder.

Moses Okot is one of two men accused in the Feb. 10, 2010, shooting of 24-year-old Serge Mulongo.

Okot pleaded guilty to felony murder in Cumberland County Superior Court. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison with all but three years suspended. A charge of murder – a greater offense –- was dropped.

In Maine, murder carries a penalty of 25 years to life in prison. The maximum sentence for felony murder is 30 years.

Mulongo was shot six times at close range while leaving an apartment building at the corner of Park Avenue and Weymouth Street. Okot was accused of providing the latex gloves that the alleged shooter,  Daudoit Butsitsi used, and driving the getaway car.

Butsitsi is scheduled to go on trial next week.
