A Duchesne County man was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for shooting and killing a man on Friday.
On Wednesday, 24-year-old Bruce Silva pleaded guilty to first degree murder and second degree aggravated assault.
The incident happened last June at a home in Lapoint, Utah. Silva and his brothers and friends went to the house to settle a dispute.
Once there, Silva was handed a gun and he allegedly shot at a group of people standing on the porch of the home.
James Carey, 25, was killed and Jared Hurley, 24, was injured by gunshot wounds.
As part of a plea agreement, the 8th District Court Judge dismissed seven other charges against Silva.
