Bazen Berhe, a 25-year-old former Target employee, has been sentenced to 100 years in prison, with 30 years suspended, for the murder of his coworker, Hernan Leiva.
Berhe planned and executed the murder in retaliation for Leiva allegedly stealing his lunch from the company refrigerator.
Berhe purchased a hammer and two knives from the Target store where both he and the victim worked, and spent a day 'training for the murder'.

During his sentencing, Berhe threatened to commit further acts of violence if the court did not give him a harsh sentence.
