TAVARES – A man who was once facing attempted first-degree murder and second-degree felony murder charges in a shootout inside a car has been sentenced to three years in prison, with credit for time served in jail, after prosecutors decided to drop all but one charge against him.
On Wednesday, Davante R. Wilcoxson was convicted of the one charge remaining against him: being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Assistant State Attorney Jonathan Olson said that prosecutors agreed to drop Wilcoxson s more serious charges after reviewing the case and his claims.
