A Louisville man, acquitted of killing his stepbrother in a 2011 murder, has been sentenced to 63 months in prison on a federal firearms charge conviction.
Josh Young also had to forfeit the gun, according to a plea agreement.
The sentence comes more than a year after Young was arrested in connection with a shooting in Louisville and for allegedly ramming a police vehicle while attempting to flee from officers. He was taken into custody after a 20-minute standoff with police on multiple charges, including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Young has a long criminal history, which started after he was charged with the 2011 murder of his stepbrother, Trey Zwicker. He was eventually acquitted of those charges, and his father, Joshua Gouker, pleaded guilty to the murder. In 2018, Young confessed to the crime in a letter he wrote while in jail on other charges.
Young will service the 63 months in prison since there is no parole in the federal system.
