Antonio West, 54, was sentenced 75 years in prison Tuesday in the Sept. 8, 2021, death of Shawn Rhyan Pewitt, 39, of Rockvale, Tennessee, according to court records.
convicted last monthAntonio West, 54, received 60 years for murder and 15 on a firearms enhancement in the Sept. 8, 2021, death of Shawn Rhyan Pewitt, 39, of Rockvale, Tennessee, according to court records.Prosecutors alleged West supplied a woman drugs for hours, forced her to have sex as payment, then fatally shot Pewitt, her boyfriend and child’s father, when he came to get her.
Pewitt wanted her to leave, but West told her to go inside. She did because she was afraid of him, the woman said. West forced her to have sex for six hits of crack cocaine, according to court documents. The woman was too scared and waited in the car, going back with West to his apartment, documents said. Pewitt returned to the apartment to get her, documents said.“You want to come outside, I’ll crack your head,” Pewitt said.
Despite another person in the backroom of West’s basement apartment, the woman was the only other person that saw Pewitt get shot, she said.
