Fort Wayne Man Gets 90 Years in Fatal Shooting

FORT WAYNE,  Indiana (AP) – A Fort Wayne man has been sentenced to 90 years in prison for fatally shooting another man outside an American Legion post in the city.
 
The Journal Gazette reports 36-year-old Eric Smith was sentenced Friday in the death of 37-year-old Jabron Totton. He was convicted last month of murder, unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, and using a firearm to commit the crime.
 
Court documents indicate the two men got into an argument as the post's bar was closing.
