LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – A man was sentenced to 10-years on Friday in connection to a deadly shooting in Lexington two-years ago, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.
The report says 34-year old Seantel Watson was given credit for time served, which totaled just over two-years. He will not be eligible for probation, according to the report.
Watson shot and killed 44-year old Larry Steven Rose, Jr. on Smith Street on March 6, 2020, according to court records.
The report says prosecutors recommended a 10-year sentence after Watson accepted a plea deal, which included amending his original charge of murder to manslaughter.
