(KNZA)--A Topeka man convicted in the 2023 fatal shooting of a former Holton man has been sentenced to 54 years and five months in prison.

Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay said a release that 30-year-old Tremale Serrano was sentenced Tuesday in Shawnee County District Court on charges in connection with the death of 23-year-old Jackson Danner.

A jury found Serrano guilty in April on charges of murder in the first-degree and murder in the second-degree.

His brother, Aaron Serrando, also of Topeka, pleaded guilty in May to a reduced charge of involuntary manslaughter as part of a plea deal and was sentenced to more than 4 years in prison.

Responding officers during the morning hours of October 15, 2023 found Danner suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in the front yard of his residence near Washburn University. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say he was shot after a fight broke out during a party at his residence.

Danner was a 2018 graduate of Holton High School.
