A 27-year-old D.C. man has been sentenced to 80 years in prison for the murders of a father and son at a Northeast Washington wholesale store, authorities said.

Christian Taylor was convicted in June on several counts of felony murder while armed, first-degree premeditated murder while armed, armed robbery, and second-degree burglary while armed. He was arrested six days after the June 2010 murders. Prosecutors said he shot Ming-Kun Chih, 59, and Li Jen Chih, 32, while robbing their store, Lida Wholesale Market, on the 1200 block of Fifth Street NE.
