Man sentenced to prison for worksite killing in northeast Nebraska
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A Louisiana man was sentenced Monday for killing his co-worker in northeast Nebraska.
Judge Bryan Meismer sentenced 22-year-old David Phillips Jr. to two to 20 years in prison for manslaughter.
With credit for 509 days served behind bars, Phillips will be eligible for parole immediately.
On March 1, 2023, Phillips killed Israel Matos-Colon during an argument at a job site near Hartington, in Cedar County.
He was upset that Matos-Colon had talked about his mother, according to court documents, and shot him multiple times.
