MARTINSBURG, W.Va. -- A New York man will spend 20 years in prison for his role in the 2005 execution-style killing of a Martinsburg man.

Prosecutors say 25-year-old Kurtis Pearsall provided the gun used to kill 25-year-old Donald Lee Redman.

Redman was shot in the head in October 2005 and his body dragged from inside a Martinsburg home to a neighbor's porch.

Pearsall, also known as "Prince'' and "Kurt the Flirt,'' pleaded guilty Thursday to second-degree murder.

Another man, 23-year-old John James Grant of New York, was convicted in November 2007 of second-degree murder in Redman's death. Prosecutors said Grant was the shooter.
