OLATHE, Kan. (AP) - A third man has been sentenced to life in prison in the killing of a suburban Kansas City gun shop owner during an attempted robbery.
Twenty-two -year-old Nicquan Midgyett, of Kansas City, Missouri, won’t be eligible for parole for 29 years under the sentence imposed Thursday for first-degree murder, attempted aggravated robbery, conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery and aggravated battery.
Gunfire erupted during the January 2015 attempt to rob a Shawnee, Kansas, gun store called She’s a Pistol, which catered to women. Forty-four-year-old Jon Bieker was killed and three would-be robbers, including Midgyett, were wounded. Bieker’s wife also was punched.
