Teen Pleads Guilty in Fatal Church Lot Shooting

A 17-year-old, Kaedan Mowery, has accepted a plea deal for fatally shooting 24-year-old Damontre Tayshon Burnett in a 2025 church parking lot standoff that began over a shoe sale gone violent. Burnett allegedly pulled a gun after receiving cash, demanded valuables and forced them to strip — prompting Mowery to fire back. Surveillance footage shows Burnett falling from a car, an arm emerging to shoot him, then the shooter fleeing. Mowery now faces 10 years in prison and 10 years probation, including 2 years under Community Corrections, and must testify in any federal ATF cases. Sentencing is pending judge approval in July.
