The second suspect in the tragic murder of a Struthers boy has pled guilty in court Tuesday morning.

According to court employees, 27-year-old Kimonie Bryant (pictured below) pled guilty to one count of Aggravated Murder. He was previously charged with four more counts of Aggravated Murder, but those charges were all dropped.

No sentencing date has been scheduled for Bryant at this time, but prosecutors are recommending he serves 20 years to life in prison on this charge.

Bryant is the second of three suspects to plead in Sweeney's murder. Back in August, 22-year-old Andre McCoy pled guilty to one count of murder with all other charges against him being dropped.

The third and final suspect, 20-year-old Brandon Crump has yet to plead in this case. Currently, Crump is charged with three counts of Aggravated Murder and two counts of Attempted Murder.
