Shelton Pleads Guilty in Niehouse Case | Kansas City News

Fifty-eight-year-old former liquor store clerk Mark Delano Shelton just pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of 29-year-old Dustin Niehouse at Cloud9 Liquor in Kansas City — a case that’s seen twists, including a prior guilty plea overturned and now back on track. Shelton admitted recklessly causing Niehouse’s death during a November 2022 incident, and while originally charged with murder, this plea deal reduces his potential sentence to three to ten years. Sentencing is set for Wednesday afternoon — marking a pivotal moment for the grieving family and closing a long legal chapter.
