Man Sentenced In Killing After Kansas Bachelor Party

(AP) – Another man has been sentenced for his role in a killing after a 2009 bachelor party.

The Wichita Eagle reported that 22-year-old Jeremy Trout received more than 11 years in prison Friday for second-degree reckless murder in the death of 33-year-old Vincent Barnes.

Witnesses said the killing happened after Trout went out drinking with Robert Reed, who was supposed to be married the next day. Reed’s older brother, Mike, also joined the bachelor party celebration.

During the night, Mike Reed called Barnes because he wanted to buy cocaine. Barnes reportedly had been trying to stop using drugs and hung up. That’s when the men went over to confront Barnes.

Robert Reed is serving a 19-year sentence after admitting firing the fatal shot in the ensuing scuffle. Mike Reed was convicted of first-degree murder.
