WARREN — A 46-year-old Warren man convicted of fatally shooting another man at point-blank range was sentenced Tuesday to 41.5 years to life in prison.

David Hollie was sentenced in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court on charges of murder and having weapons under disability, both with firearm specifications, as well as tampering with evidence, failure to comply with the order of a police order and receiving stolen property. The victim was 34-year-old Choice D. Washington, and the shooting took place Aug. 3 in the 300 block of Scott Street.

Judge Sarah Thomas Kovoor handed down the sentence Tuesday after a jury found Hollie guilty last week.

Washington’s daughter, Alexis, whose letter was read by victim advocate Jenna Maze, described her father as “my whole world” who raised her alone.
