TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) A Topeka man will be sentenced May 8 for a fatal shooting during an attempted robbery.
A Shawnee County jury on Tuesday convicted Kyree Mashon McClelland of first-degree murder and four other felonies in the August shooting of 32-year-old Timothy James Stone.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that testimony at the trial indicated that Stone was shot during a struggle with McClelland and another man after McClelland had pulled a gun and demanded money.
McClelland was severely beaten and had to be put into a medically induced coma to help with recovery from blunt force trauma to the face and head.
