KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City man has been sentenced to life in the fatal shooting of a Shawnee, Kansas gun store owner. 

DeAnthony Wiley was sentenced to life with a minimum sentence of 25 years before he gets an opportunity for parole.

Wiley pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, attempted aggravated robbery, conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery, and aggravated battery in February.

Wiley and four other men attempted to rob She's a Pistol, a gun store in Shawnee at gunpoint on Jan. 9, 2015. 

One of the store's co-owners, Jon Bieker, was shot to death in an exchange of gunfire with the attempted robbers after one of the men assaulted his wife, Becky Bieker, who is also a co-owner.

Wiley was also shot and left partially paralyzed. 

He was the last of his accomplices to be tried. 

A jury found Londro Emanuel Patterson, III guilty of first-degree murder, attempted aggravated robbery, conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery and aggravated battery.

Hakeem Malik and Nicquan Midgyett also pleaded guilty to the same charges.
