Detroit Man Sentenced For Huntington Shooting Death

{West Virginia}...Edward William Crawford, 24, of Detroit was sentenced Wednesday to six years in prison and a $3,000 fine after being convicted of felony wanton endangerment and misdemeanor involuntary manslaughter. Crawford was convicted of killing Toney Johnson, 26, of Huntington, and endangering his brother Jermaine Johnson. Johnson died after being shot on September 30, 2009 on 28th Street. Both sides say a confrontation between Crawford and the Johnsons led to the shooting. The manslaughter charge was a lesser offense than the indictment's initial charge of murder.
