Kameryn James was identified as the getaway driver and was sentenced to 15 years in state prison, officials said.
The other two suspects were juveniles and were both charged with robbery. They were sentenced to 18-20 years.
In November 2019, Young was taken into custody in Nevada after Crime Stoppers increased the reward for his arrest three months after Lakhani's murder, police said.
According to police, Young was using a fake name while on another crime spree, having already been jailed for other charges such as grand theft auto.
