MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A Minneapolis man has been sentenced to more than eight years in prison in the shooting death of his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend. The 39-year-old was sentenced Thursday in the August 2019 shooting death of 29-year-old Isiah Smith, which happened in front of Blanton’s then 4-year-old son in Stevens Square.
