A St. Joseph man was sentenced Monday for the shooting death of a man in a midtown home last year.

Scott Hollandsworth, 36 was sentenced in Buchanan County Court to serve 15 years for felony voluntary manslaughter and 15 years for felony armed criminal action with the sentences to run consecutively.

He pleaded guilty last month in connection with the shooting death of 33-year-old Shawn Martin.

As we previously reported, court documents said Hollandsworth got into a verbal altercation with Martin that escalated into a shooting at a home in the 1500 block of Felix St. on Dec. 7, 2015.  Hollandsworth turned himself into Riverside police custody two days after St. Joseph Police found Martin dead inside of the bathroom of the home.
