WEST PALM BEACH — A Greenacres man has received a 40-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to killing a Wellington man in 2017, when he was 19 years old. Yasir Jackson, now 24, entered his plea to charges of second-degree murder and armed robbery in the fatal shooting of Joseph Biella III, 34, during a hearing Friday morning before Circuit Judge Cymonie Rowe. Jackson pleaded to a lesser offense after being indicted for first-degree murder in the fatal shooting, which took place on Jan. 17, 2017, at Biella's home in the Sugar Pond Manor neighborhood off Greenview Shores Boulevard.
