(KNZA)--A Mayetta man convicted of shooting a family member last August has been sentenced to five years in prison.
Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller tells MSC News that 40-year-old Alva McKinney was sentenced Friday on charges of aggravated battery and criminal possession of a firearm.
Following his prison sentence, McKinney must serve 36-months on post release supervision. In addition, Miller says McKinney will be required to register as a violent offender for 15 years.
A Jackson County jury found him guilty of the charges last month.
McKinney was arrested August 1 after authorities say he shot a male relative in the head at a residence north of Mayetta.
The 59-year-old victim was transported to a Topeka hospital for treatment of the gunshot wound.
