KANSAS CITY, Kansas (KMBC) — A Kansas City man has been sentenced for the shooting death of a 6-year-old boy.
Lakevis Sloan was sentenced Wednesday to more than 25 years in the Kansas Department of Corrections, according to court documents shared with KMBC 9.
Sloan previously pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, aggravated assault and aggravated child endangerment in connection with the May 2023 death of Sir’Antonio Brown, 6.
Brown was shot and killed while riding his bicycle in front of his family’s home in Kansas City, Kansas.
At the time of the shooting, family members said they believed Sloan and other suspects, including a 17-year-old, were targeting Brown’s 20-year-old uncle.
Sloan was arrested days after the shooting at a bus station in South Dakota.
Sloan will also serve three years of post-release supervision after he serves his prison sentence.
