/ 12.23.2008
The man who murdered Philant Johnson, T.I.’s best friend and assistant, has been sentenced to 66 years to life in prison.
Last month, a Cincinnati jury convicted Hosea Thomas, 34, of murder, felonious assault, and illegally having a gun after a felony conviction.
Thomas fatally shot 26-year-old Johnson during a gun battle on Ohio’s Interstate 75 in May 2006.
