His mother, sister and both grandmothers gave impact statements directly to Davis, confronting him about the loss of their loved one.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A teen who admitted to killing another teenager in Corpus Christi has been sentenced to more than two decades in prison.

Drew Anthony Davis pleaded guilty to murder and robbery charges in the death of 17-year-old Gabriel Campos III.

Judge Jack Pulcher sentenced Davis to 22 years in prison for the murder and 20 years for robbery. 

The sentences will run concurrently, meaning Davis will serve both at the same time. 

He will also receive credit for time already served while in custody.

Campos’ family delivered emotional victim impact statements in court before the sentencing.

His mother, sister and both grandmothers gave impact statements directly to  Davis, confronting him about the loss of their loved one. 

They described Gabriel as a young man with a bright future who was just months away from turning 18 and graduating high school.

Family members said Campos was walking from school to work when he was killed. They told Davis that because of his actions, Gabriel will never get the chance to become a father or an uncle.

During their statements, relatives accused Davis of showing little remorse during court proceedings, saying he had laughed and smirked at times. They told him he was no longer laughing now.

In November, a judge ruled that Davis would be tried as an adult in the case.

Earlier in the proceedings, Davis’ bond had been reduced to $200,000, with $150,000 to be posted by his attorney and $50,000 by his family to ensure he remained out of trouble while awaiting trial.

Davis was 16 years old at the time of the shooting, and had stood trial in juvenile court since.
