Seattle pimp sentenced for shootout with Uber driver who was helping girl escape

A pimp who was involved in a rolling shootout with an Uber driver in an attempt to recapture one of the girls he was selling in sex trafficking in Seattle will spend just shy of 15 years in prison on state charges, a judge ruled Friday afternoon. Winston Burt, 32, of California, also known as "Dice Capone'" pleaded guilty to multiple counts of assault, drive-by shooting, and unlawful imprisonment in King County Superior Court. Burt has also pleaded guilty to federal charges of sex trafficking and is expected to be sentenced in that case next year. Prosecutors described Burt in court as a violent pimp who brought women to Seattle from other states to sell them for sex on Aurora Avenue. -------------------------------------------------- For more on the lead story: https://komonews.com/news/local/seatt... _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KOMO News on Facebook:   / komonews   KOMO News on Twitter:   / komonews   KOMO News on Instagram:   / komo4   KOMO News on TikTok:   / komo4seattle   Subscribe to KOMO on YouTube:    / @komonews   Watch more top local news stories:    • Video   For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.komonews.com/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://komonews.com/watch Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-...
