Two men involved in a 2014 fatal robbery in the VanMall neighborhood were sentenced Monday in Clark County Superior Court.
Shawn Fortner, 20, of Bend, Ore., and Fortner’s cousin, Jonathan Hensey, 23, of East Wenatchee, each pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and first-degree robbery stemming from the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Craig Moritz on Feb. 4, 2014.
Fortner was sentenced to 10 years and 10 months in prison. Hensey received a 10-year prison sentence.
The two lured Moritz and a friend, Aaron Smith, to their van under the pretense of a drug transaction and then tried to rob them. A third co-defendant, Zacheriah A. Douglas, 23, of Vancouver shot Moritz in the back when Moritz and Smith attempted to flee, according to one account in the probable cause affidavit. Moritz was pronounced dead at the scene.
