Konrad Schafer was just 15 at the time of the killings that were part of 15 day crime spree in Osceola County in 2013.
Schafer, 18, pleaded guilty in January to two counts of first-degree murder and could have been sentenced to 40 years in prison, but instead the judge gave him two consecutive life sentences, one for each first-degree murder charge.
In Court this morning, Schafer apologized to the victims' family Friday.
Schafer fatally shot David Guerrero, 17, who was on his way to catch a bus for work in June of 2013 in Kissimmee.
A few days after the killing, Schafer and three of his friends -- David Damus, Victoria Rios and Juan Muriel -- forced their way into Eric Roopnarine’s Poinciana home where the 22-year-old was shot to death.
David Damus was found guilty of first-degree murder in Roopnarine's death. Rios, who was 17 at the time of the killings, is still awaiting trial.
Authorities said Schafer had convinced his father to buy him a gun and 100 rounds of ammunition. Investigators said Schafer waited until his father went to bed, took the gun out of the house and went on the crime spree.
Schafer will have a hearing in 25 years for both murders. That means that in 2041, he could have his sentence reduced.
