Abrams agreed to a sentence of 10 to 14 years, according to Montgomery County Common Pleas records.

Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies responding to an unrelated call on May 13, 2021, found a man bleeding from his head and asking for help. The man told deputies to check Michigan Avenue for a car with another victim inside, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Deputies found 15-year-old J’Yon Kolby-Lee Manson-Coleman dead inside the vehicle who reportedly was shot multiple times.

Abrams, Manson-Coleman and the second victim were inside the vehicle when Abrams shot the teen, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Abrams initially was charged with four counts each of murder, felonious assault and aggravated robbery. He pleaded guilty to a bill of information for involuntary manslaughter that was filed on Friday. Three counts of felonious assault and all murder and aggravated robbery charges were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.

Abrams remains in the Montgomery County Jail.
