David Hillis,22, will spend a year in Summit County Jail for the shooting death of Marcus Glover after a robbery attempt back in August of 2015.

Court documents show Hillis fired shots at Glover and his accomplice, Terry Tart, as they ran from his home on Hilbish Avenue after an attempted robbery last year. Tart, was sentenced to 9 years in prison for his involvement. Hillis was facing 11 years in prison, but charge was reduced to voluntary manslaughter and a plea deal tossed out the gun specification which would have held with it a mandatory 3 years in prison. He plead guilty to the charge of voluntary manslaughter back in August.

Visiting Judge Richard Reinbold sentenced Hillis to six years on Wednesday, but suspended five years of the sentence and ordered that he serve one year in the Summit County Jail rather than prison. Glover's family is upset about the sentence and say Hillis was given preferential treatment because of family "connections." 

A man involved in an attempted robbery when the other robber was shot and killed after fleeing the victim's home has been sentenced.

A visiting judge sentenced 38 year-old Terry Tart to nine years in prison.

He pled guilty in August to a charge of involuntary manslaughter with a gun specification.

Last August, Tart and Marcus Glover tried to rob David Hillis at his Akron home when Hillis shot Glover in the head from his front porch, after a confrontation over drugs.

Hillis has already pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter.

In the afternoon of August 7, 2015, Tart and Marcus Glover attempted to rob David Hillis at gunpoint at Hillis' Akron home. At today's sentencing, Tart stated he punched Hillis and knocked him to the floor after a confrontation over drugs. Tart and Glover then ran off. Hillis opened fire from his front porch with his own gun. Glover was about 70 yards away and no longer on Hillis' property when he was shot in the head and died.

Hillis pled guilty to Voluntary Manslaughter on August 17, 2016. Judge Reinbold is scheduled to sentence Hillis on November 16, 2016 at 11am.

The man who fatally shot a robber inside his Akron home a year ago has pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter charges.
