Wichita man gets 3 years in Arkansan's shooting death

WICHITA, Kan. — A judge has sentenced a 21-year-old man to prison for his role in the 2013 death of an Arkansas man.

The Wichita Eagle reported that a Sedgwick County judge Thursday ordered Dijon Thomas of Wichita to serve a 38-month sentence on an involuntary manslaughter conviction and 26 months for marijuana possession.

The other men convicted in the killing are Corey Pollard, Dallas Guy and Orville Smith.
