Prosecutors said the 32-year-old got into an argument with Michael Rambaran outside National Wholesale Liquidators when Fenelon pushed Rambaran to the ground, then punched, kicked and stomped on his head before breaking a glass bottle on his head on Aug. 2, 2012.

Rambaran was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police arrested Fenelon at his home later the same day after he fled the scene.

Judge Tammy Robbins also sentenced Fenelon to five years of post-release supervision.
