Preston was convicted of in April of Second Degree Murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence, and disqualified person in possession of a regulated firearm.
"The fact that Mr. Preston was willing to discharge a weapon and take a life in broad daylight is a testament to his complete disregard for humanity and the law. Anyone willing to resort to violence in our city will be held responsible to the fullest extent of the law as this case clearly demonstrates," said State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby.
