Dad Of Girl Killed In Gunfire Sentenced On Drug Charge

A man whose 10-year-old daughter was killed during an armed robbery at his home has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

During a sentencing hearing Thursday in Denver, 31-year-old Leo "Mickey" Cisneros said he was sorry for the decisions he made.

His daughter, Auralia, died in a gun battle after three robbers broke into Cisneros' apartment Nov. 26, 2007. Prosecutors argued that Cisneros put his daughter in danger by dealing marijuana out of his apartment, making it the target of robbers.

Jurors acquitted Cisneros of reckless child abuse resulting in death but convicted him on the drug charge.
