Third sentencing in Centralia battlefield killing Monday

A man connected to a shooting death near the Centralia Civil War battlefield site has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Richard Henry pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in April, in the 2017 shooting death of Leon Wilder in 2017. Prosecutors say it was a drug deal gone bad.

Two others pleaded guilty to lesser charges last year. Arline Diedrich is serving ten years in prison. Justin Traughber got a nine-year sentence.
