Man sentenced in 2019 shooting in Easton

(KAIR)--A Kansas City, Kansas man convicted of attempted involuntary manslaughter in the shooting of an Easton man in 2019 has learned his fate.

Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson said 46-year-old Daniel Owens was sentenced Friday in Leavenworth County District Court to two years and three months in prison.  

Thompson said the defense requested probation, but the state argued for prison. He said a special rule under the Kansas sentencing guidelines says the commission of a crime with a firearm is presumptive prison.

Owens was found guilty on the felony charge following a three-day trial in October.  

He was charged with entering the home of Danny Clark, of Easton on February 13, 2019 and shooting him multiple time in the head and neck. Clark survived his injuries.  

Owens fled the state of Kansas before being arrested in Nebraska.
