Marcas McGowan, 32, from Kansas has been sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping his girlfriend’s 5 year old daughter and shooting the child to death during a 2014 police chase.
McGowan declined to address the judge during his sentencing hearing Tuesday in Kansas City, Kansas. He had already pleaded guilty to kidnapping resulting in death and to discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.
Police say McGowan abducted Cadence Harris, on July 18, 2014, after arguing with her mother at their home. During a chase that followed the argument, McGowan fired at police and fatally shot the girl. Police pursued him into neighboring Missouri before he crashed through a barricade near Leavenworth, Kansas.
Officers shot him after he pointed a gun at them.
