(KMZA)--A Marysville man, convicted in the 2022 shooting death of his wife, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Gerald Brown was handed the sentence last week in Marshall County District Court on a charge of second-degree murder.

Brown pleaded no contest to the reduced charge last October as part of a plea deal.

He had originally been charged with first-degree murder in the death of his 57-year-old wife, Jennifer Brown.

Authorities responded to a 911 call early November 24, 2022 at the couple's Marysville home, where they found Jennifer Brown dead from apparent gunshot wounds. Gerald Brown was taken into custody at the scene.
