A Mexico, Missouri, man has pleaded guilty and was sentenced Tuesday in relation to a 2020 shooting in Mexico.

Deyton Fisher, 26, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and first-degree burglary. He was sentenced to 15 years in the Missouri Division of Adult Institutions.

Fisher's case was previously heard in Audrain County before a change of venue request was approved for Linn County in October 2021.

Prosecutors initially charged Fisher with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and other crimes in the shooting death of 25-year-old Chance Davis. Davis was shot and killed at his home in the 800 block of West Street during a break-in on June 27, 2020.
