KINGMAN – The defendant offered no comment and attorneys had little to say when a Kingman man was sentenced to prison on Oct. 22 for a deadly shooting. When Mohave County Superior Court Judge Derek Carlisle accepted the proposed plea agreement, there was no need for argument since prison punishment was stipulated at 10.5 years.
The Court imposed that sentence for Keygun Field, 18, and left open the possibility that the teenager would be required to pay restitution in the future.
Field is convicted of the lesser included offense of manslaughter, reduced in the deal from a first-degree murder charge. Aggravated assault and jail destruction charges in unrelated cases are dismissed.
Authorities have said that Terry Hill, 35, was killed following a Jan. 30 argument with a number of juveniles at a home in the 3600 block of Northfield Ave. A Mohave County Sheriff’s Office probable cause statement indicated that the argument occurred after Field asked Hill’s girlfriend for a ride home, but was rejected because she had ingested some medicaton.
Hill died from a single gunshot to the head.
