The man who shot and killed a Butler native in Tennessee will spend the next quarter century behind bars.
Devaunte Hill was found guilty earlier this year of shooting 26-year-old Caitlyn Kaufman on a Nashville highway back in 2020.
On Wednesday, the judge overseeing the case sentenced Hill to 25 years in prison.
Hill said that he was sorry for his actions and apologized to Kaufman’s family.
Police also charged James Cowan, who was in the car with Hill during the shooting, with Kaufman’s death, but he was found not guilty by the jury during the trial.
Kaufman was a 2012 graduate of Butler Senior High School and had moved to Nashville in 2018 to work as a nurse.
