Whitfield was supposed to go on trial Monday on charges of aggravated murder. However, he pleaded guilty to lesser charges and was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Police said Whitfield was supposed to distract Njie while his partners robbed his store.
Three other people have already been convicted in the murder. The actual gunman is serving a 23 year to life sentence.
