COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Wanyesville man was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty last month to voluntary manslaughter.

Colin Mar was previously charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action after he was accused of shooting someone in a St. Robert home in March. Court documents in previous reporting say he shot a man in the back after an argument.

Another person at the home allegedly took credit for the shooting, but law enforcement did not believe the story and she admitted that Mar shot the man, court documents say.

Court documents say the evidence does not support a claim that Mar was defending himself from the victim. Six shell casings were found inside the home.
