DAYTONA BEACH - A jury found a Tampa man guilty Thursday of first-degree murder and armed carjacking during Black College Reunion last year.

Herbert Manago, 18, received an automatic life sentence for the death of Donell King, 20, of Daytona Beach.

The victim's twin brother, Ronald King, told jurors he stepped out of a Burger King and he felt a gun poke into his right side.

The brothers were on a double date when four armed men ordered the couples to give up the bright blue Ford sedan, investigators said.

Donell King was shot in the neck after arguing with the attackers, witnesses said. He ran, collapsed near police officers, and died at a hospital.
