Prosecutors say DeChenne shot the 32-year-old because he was dating his ex-girlfriend.

DeChenne was originally charged with attempted second-degree murder and drive-by shooting, but pled guilty to a lesser charge of first-degree assault in exchange for a reduced sentence.

In addition to the prison term, Jordan also ordered DeChenne to serve three years of community custody once released and imposed a no-contact order of 75 years between he and the victim.
