RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA — Two brothers pleaded guilty on Tuesday to murder-related counts for the shooting death of a North Carolina sheriff's deputy three years ago when authorities said the officer approached a pickup truck late at night in a rural area.

Alder Marin-Sotelo, 28, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in Wake County court in the killing of 48-year-old Deputy Ned Byrd, a K-9 officer. The man's brother, Arturo Marin-Sotelo, 32, pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact to first-degree murder.

Superior Court Judge Graham Shirley sentenced Alder Marin-Sotelo to life in prison without the chance for parole and Arturo Marin-Sotelo to a prison sentence of roughly eight to 10 years.
