Ohio disabled man gets 13 years in prison from killing his caregiver

From WLWT-TV in Ohio:

CINCINNATI -- A special needs patient who shot and killed his caregiver has been sentenced to 13 years in prison.

Prosecutors said 19-year-old Anthony Irby, who was under the care of the Hamilton County Board of Mental Retardation, shot and killed Devona Daniels during an argument March 19 about money.

Daniels was employed by Focus on Independence, and investigators said she refused to give Irby more money for food after he'd spent his monthly cash allotment.

Irby was charged with murder, but he agreed to plead guilty Monday to involuntary manslaughter.

Prosecutors said Irby called 911 after the shooting and tried to perform life-saving maneuvers on Daniels but he left the Forest Park woman's side before police arrived to hide the rifles and two other weapons in nearby woods.

Irby was prevented from owning firearms after being declared mentally incompetent after a juvenile arrest, but he was found mentally competent to stand trial for murder.
