A Great Bend man has been sentenced to nearly 10 years in prison for the shooting death of another Great Bend man last year.

Thirty-one-year-old Antonio Mosqueda was sentenced Thursday in Barton County Court in the August 2008 death of 30-year-old Jose L. Villanueva Jr.

Mosqueda pleaded guilty in September to second-degree murder.

Investigators have not determined a clear motive for Villanueva's slaying.

Mosqueda's brother, 35-year-old Armando Mosqueda of Lyons, was charged Monday in Rice County with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of his girlfriend, Jeannie Jacobsen, also of Lyons. He body was found Sunday morning at her Lyons home.
