LOS ANGELES—A woman who pleaded guilty to killing entertainment consultant and social justice advocate Michael Latt was sentenced to 35 years to life in prison on Wednesday.

Jameelah Elena Michl had been stalking and threatening film director A.V. Rockwell and targeted Latt because he was Ms. Rockwell’s friend, prosecutors and police said. Ms. Michl pleaded guilty last month to charges of first-degree murder and first-degree burglary in connection with the November attack.
