His sentence was 16 to life, so no definitive release date.

Then that makes better sense. Had the article actually SAID that, there would have been no confusion. Instead the article says:

when he was sentenced to 16 years in prison for brutally murdering his mother

That's not nitpicking IMHO. The difference between "sentenced to 16 years" and "sentenced to 16 years to life" is an important enough detail to provide accurately.
