Michael Drejka, 49, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for killing Markeis McGlockton during an argument over a handicapped parking spot.
A judge handed down the sentence Thursday morning, almost two months after Drejka was found guilty of manslaughter in the shooting death of McGlockton.
The judge says Drejka will be credited 92 days for time served. The judge also ordered a $5,000 restitution lien to be paid to Britany Jacobs, McGlockton's girlfriend and mother of his four children.
"No words...for the hole this has left in my world," Jacobs said.
Jacobs was at the convenience store on the day of the shooting. She was in the car with their son parked in the handicapped parking spot.
Drejka's defense team spoke first Thursday, asking the court to consider things like how the shooting was isolated and not pre-meditated. Drejka did not make a statement.
McGlockton's mother, Monica Moore-Robinson, spoke next saying, "I don't hate you, but I will never forgive you."
When McGlockton's father spoke, he said: "If God takes my life before I can forgive you, then I will see you in Hell...mark my words."
In July of 2018, Drejka shot and killed McGlockton, 28, during an argument over a handicapped parking spot at a Clearwater convenience store. Drejka had confronted McGlockton's girlfriend, who had parked in the spot with their 5-year-old son.
Security footage shows McGlockton leaving the store and shoving Drejka to the ground. Seconds later, Drejka pulls out a gun and shoots McGlockton as he backed away.
