\nA man was sentenced Wednesday after he was convicted of a deadly shooting inside a Taylor Boulevard convenience store in 2024.<\/p>\n
A judge sentenced Gage Lewis to 20 years in prison without the possibility of probation or shock probation. He was convicted back in August for shooting and killing 21-year-old Dion Smith Jr. on May 18, 2024, inside the Speedy Mart in the 4400 block of Taylor Boulevard near Southern Parkway.<\/p>\n
Lewis also must serve 85% of his sentence before he can be considered for parole.<\/p>\n
Police said Lewis shot and killed Smith inside the store. Another man was also shot but survived.<\/p>\n
Lewis was 18 when he was arrested the day after the shooting. According to court records, Louisville Metro Police identified him using surveillance video.<\/p>\n
The judge also said Wednesday that because the jury struggled with the question of the initial aggressor during the trial, she would consider the defense\u2019s motion for a new trial.
