Breaking News from LMT:
Keagan Tennant will spend up to his 21st birthday in in a juvenile correctional facility after being sentenced in the shooting death of an 18-year-old man.
Tennant, 17, was sentenced Thursday in Latah County 2nd District Court to on multiple charges including involuntary manslaughter.
District Judge John Stegner entered a blended sentence on Tennant. Stegner suspended a five to 30-year adult prison term and ordered Tennant be placed in a Department of Juvenile Correction facility for up to his 21st birthday. Stegner will retain jurisdiction over Tennant and decide in anywhere from one to three years if Tennant should be released on probation or ordered to serve his suspended term in an adult penitentiary.
Tennant shot and killed Tim Reeves during a summer camping trip east of Troy where the two young men had firearms pointed at each other. Tennant and codefendant Matthew McKetta then tried to hide Reeves’ body and attempted to flee to Canada before being arrested 10 miles from the border. Tennant also stole a Pizza Hut delivery car at gunpoint prior to being arrested in Washington.
McKetta is set to be sentenced April 23.
