MEXICO MAN GETS FIFTEEN YEAR PRISON SENTENCE AFTER PLEADING GUILTY TO ATTEMPTED MURDER CHARGES

A Mexico, Missouri man will be spending the next 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to several charges including attempted murder.

Audrain County Prosecuting Attorney Jacob Shellabarger reports 23 year old Daryl E. Richardson is pleading guilty to Attempted Murder, Assault in the First Degree with a firearm that resulted in serious physical injury and use of a firearm while intoxicated.

The convictions stem from a shooting on Howell Manor Court in Mexico in January, where Richardson and the victim were at a house party and became involved in a verbal argument and Richardson fired hitting the victim in the back, and shot him a second time.
