Does anyone know what's the translation? i'm unable to translation because of
"ni naru". i know "ni naru + noun" means "to became", but i don't understand
your meaning in the phrase.

Meaning of the "Ni Naru" in this phrase
As you understand, it is the same _to become_. Of course, _the man became a
death sentence_ is not idiomatic in English, but the Japanese になる can work
that way. The preceding noun can be what _happens_ to the subject.

Another example is

  * 彼は解雇になった He got fired (literally: He became an unemployment).
