The shooting death of a 19-year-old man in 2019 that was spurred by a simmering conflict led to a 25-year prison sentence Thursday for the man who shot him.
Dane County Circuit Judge Josann Reynolds said Larence G. Thomas, 38, should have had the maturity to step back from the conflict between Malik Moss and members of Thomasâ family, not impulsively shoot Moss several times in September 2019 in a parking lot outside the Ridgecrest Apartments on Madisonâs North Side
âYou were the adult,â Reynolds said. âYou had the ability to make so many different choices.â
