Prosecutors Believe Bryant Shot Man In The Chest

An Evansville man received a 35-year sentence today for shooting a man in the chest earlier this year.

Dontez D. Bryant, 23, was found guilty of attempted murder following a two-day trial last month. Prosecutors believe Bryant shot a man in the chest in the 1100 block of Powell Avenue on April 16. He then fled the scene and was caught by police about a month later in Wisconsin.

The 35-year sentence was handed down by Superior Court Judge Robert Pigman.
