JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Jefferson City man was sentenced Wednesday to five years in prison after pleading guilty to a shooting that happened in 2019.

Cole County Prosecutor Locke Thompson said Antonio Ingram agreed to plead guilty to a count of unlawful use of a weapon. Thompson said in exchange for the plea all other charges against him were dropped.

Jefferson City police arrested Ingram in July 2019 after officers say he was caught on surveillance camera footage shooting at another man.

Officers said Ingram admitted that he was not supposed to have a firearm for being a convicted felon. Investigators say he denied any involvement in the shooting.
