A St. Joseph man was sentenced Thursday in connection with a shooting incident in December that left another man in serious condition.

Brandon Scott Parker was sentenced in Judge Daniel Kellogg’s court to serve 9-years consecutive with another case he’s currently serving 7-years on.

Parker is one of three suspects charged in connection with a shooting that took place Dec. 15 at 3000 Parkway A in which Trevor Keith was seriously hurt.

Parker pleaded guilty to felony second-degree robbery in February. Two other defendants, Adrian Taylor and Gerald Johnson Jr. were also charged in connection with the incident. Taylor pleaded guilty to felony second-degree assault and armed criminal action earlier this month. Johnson rejected a plea deal in March.

According to an affidavit from St. Joseph Police Detective Frank Till, the robbery attempt was drug-related, and  Parker had an “active role” in the incident. Taylor and Johnson are both accused of shooting Keith as he sat in a vehicle and then fleeing the scene. Parker was accused of driving the vehicle in which the shooting suspects fled.

Parker was out on probation at the time of the shooting incident after pleading guilty in 2014 to distribution.  According to online court documents he had been sentenced to serve 7-years behind bars in that case but was released on four years supervised probation four months later.  His probation in that case has been revoked and the previous sentence of seven years was ordered.
