LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison after he shot someone to death in the St. Denis neighborhood in 2021.
Bryan Bruce III admitted that on July 3, 2021 he intentionally shot a minor several times causing him to die.
Separately, authorities said on or about June 20, 2021, Bruce fired a weapon at Geoffrey Brewer, putting Brewer and three others at "substantial risk" of death or serious physical injury.
Police said Bruce was seen on surveillance video driving up to Brewer on Clarion Court and Rockford Lane, shooting him as he walked down the street.
They said Bruce then got out of his vehicle and continued to shoot Brewer multiple times as he laid on the ground.
According to court documents, Bruce placed Brewer and the three other individuals at substantial risk of death or serious injury.
On Friday, Bruce plead guilty to murder for the incident on July 3 and to four counts of first-degree wanton endangerment for the incident on June 20.
He will serve 40 years in prison without the chance for probation, prosecutors said.
