Man sentenced for fatal shooting outside Sioux City bar
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A 21-year-old man has been sentenced prison for his role in the death outside a Sioux City bar last May. Lawrence Canady was sentenced Friday to 16 years for voluntary manslaughter and other counts in the death of 22-year-old Martez Harrison. The judge also revoked Canady’s probation from an earlier case and added five years to the sentence. Prosecutors said Canady and Harrison fought outside Uncle Dave’s Bar and when Harrison fell, another man shot him twice while Canady continued to hit him. Canady’s attorneys argued he acted in self-defense. The second suspect, 17-year-old Dwight Evans, is charged with first-degree murder in Hartez’s death.
