SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) – A Missouri man has pleaded guilty to fatally shooting a Springfield woman during a drug deal. The Greene County prosecutor announced Wednesday 34-year-old Carlton Williamson was sentenced last week to 12 years for second-degree murder in the February 2018 killing of 29-year-old Raquel Montgomery. He also was sentenced to three years for armed criminal action and 10 years for a drug charge. Court records say a witness told investigators an argument erupted after Montgomery asked Williamson to weigh the meth he handed her. She had the gun at her side when two shots were fired.
