A judge sentenced a Walnut Grove man to serve 22 years for a shooting death last year.
Court documents say 21 year old Lakota Tucker was sentenced to 17 years for second-degree murder, 15 years for unlawful use of a weapon and five years for armed criminal action in the death of Cory Estey.
On July 4, 2021, authorities found Estey dead from a gunshot wound in the 8700 block of North Farm Road 43 in Ash Grove.
Tucker later arrived and admitted to deputies that he was the shooter.
