JOHNSON COUNTY —A Kansas man is going to prison for the rest of his life for the death of a teen.
Last week, Judge Brenda M. Cameron sentenced 29-year-old Malik Jamal Delva to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25-years for first degree murder, and granted an upward durational departure due to aggravating factors to 154 months in prison for distribution of marijuana, according to the Johnson County District Attorney's office.
In March a jury found Delva guilty in the June 2018 shooting death of 17-year-old Daniel Bowden. Police responded to an armed disturbance in the 100 Block of South Clairborne Road in Olathe. During an altercation between two groups, Bowden was shot. EMS transported him to a hospital where he died. Three others including 23-year-old Angelo Monteleone, 23-year-old Isaiah Wisinger and 22-year-old Cesar Herrera all have pleaded guilty in connection with Bowden's death and were sentenced.
