Aayden Lee Hutchins, 18, was sentenced to 25 years in prison Wednesday, Nov. 4, for second-degree murder in the July 2025 shooting death of Vincent Cordon at a Norman apartment complex.
A Cleveland County District Court judge sentenced Hutchins on Wednesday, Nov. 4, for second-degree murder in the death of Cordon, 22, according to the Norman Transcript. Hutchins also received a 10-year sentence for possession of a firearm after a former juvenile adjudication. The two sentences will run concurrently, meaning Hutchins faces a total prison term of 25 years.
Hutchins pleaded guilty to both charges on Oct. 1, according to the District 21 District Attorney's Office, as News 9 reported.
The case stems from a July 8, 2025, shooting near the pool area of The Ave Apartments, near 12th Avenue Southeast and State Highway 9, News 9 reported. Police said the shooting happened during a fight at the complex.
Officers transported Cordon to OU Medical Center, where he died from his injuries, according to OKC Fox.
During the sentencing hearing, Cordon's family and friends addressed the court. They described how his death affected their lives, according to News 9.
District Attorney Jennifer Austin said the sentence holds Hutchins accountable. "Vincent's family and friends live with a loss that extends far beyond this case," Austin said, according to the DA's office.
