Victim’s family finds justice in 35-year sentence issued in fatal shooting
Kim Fields said the 35-year prison sentence issued to her brother’s killer on Wednesday gave the family some justice.
Fields spoke shortly after the sentencing for Emanuel Bryant, who received the 35-year sentence from Circuit Court Judge Butch Binford. A Houston County jury found Bryant guilty earlier this month of felony manslaughter in the shooting of 31-year-old Daniel Dawsey, Fields’ brother.
“It will help me to keep from reliving his death, and now focus on his life,” Fields said. “It will bring us some closure.”
Dothan police investigators arrested Bryant on May 8, 2014, and charged him with murder in the shooting death of Dawsey. Dawsey suffered a fatal gunshot wound in the 1000 block of Eugene Street around 8:30 p.m. The shooting happened during an altercation in the street. The jury found the 31-year-old Bryant guilty of the lesser included felony manslaughter charge at trial.
