A Myrtle Beach man pleaded guilty Tuesday in connection with a deadly shooting during the Memorial Day Weekend Bike Fest almost three years ago.

Demario Stukes, 20, pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact of murder. He was originally charged with murder.

In November 2009, Keion Griffin was found guilty of murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. He killed Coastal Carolina University student Corey Brooks outside a home in Myrtle Beach in 2008.

Stukes faced a lesser charge because he testified against Griffin and ajuvenile, who pleaded guilty to a gun charge.

Police say the shooting stemmed from a fight over a parking spot.
