(AP) – An eastern Missouri man has been ordered to spend a
quarter century in prison in connection with a shooting death two years ago.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 30-year-old Thomas Harris of Festus
was sentenced Tuesday in Jefferson County.
Harris was convicted in November of second-degree murder and armed criminal
action.
Authorities say he killed Dion Robinson of De Soto in February 2015 after
police said Robinson went to a girlfriend’s house and wouldn’t leave.
Court documents alleged that the woman called Harris for help, and that
Robinson grabbed a cellphone from the woman before Harris shot him.
