Cedar Rapids, IA (AP) An Iowa man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison after taking a plea deal for the 2017 shooting death of another man in a Cedar Rapids parking lot. Television station KCRG reports that 29-year-old Quarzone Martin was sentenced Tuesday after pleading to voluntary manslaughter in the death of 26-year-old Andrew Meeks. Martin was convicted of second-degree murder in the case in 2017 and sentenced to 50 years in prison, but the Iowa Court of Appeals overturned the first conviction last year. Martin took prosecutors' deal ahead of his second trial that had been scheduled for last month. Prosecutors have said Martin fatally shot Meeks and wounded a 30-year-old man on July 2, 2017, in the parking lot of a Cedar Rapids Walmart.
