SEATTLE - A 23-year-old man pleaded guilty Thursday to first-degree manslaughter for fatally injuring a man by slugging him in the head with a skateboard.
33-year-old Demetri Andrews, of Renton, died in April of a brain injury, three days after a scuffle in Seattle's University District in which Timothy Strano hit him in the head with a skateboard.
King County prosecutors say they will ask that Strano serve 6-and-a-half years in prison when he is sentenced in February.
Prosecutors contended that Andrews scuffled with Strano and Strano's friend when they blocked his way as Andrews and his girlfriend were driving on University Way.
