A South Bend man has been sentenced to 55 years in prison for the shooting death of a woman.

Jamie Garner pleaded guilty, last month, to the death of Jenna Lynn Vanhorn, who was found dead inside a room at the Rodeway Inn motel in South Bend in September of 2019.

In exchange for his guilty plea to murder, prosecutors dismissed a firearm sentencing enhancement.

Let’s hope this violent criminal stays locked up for 55 years. These people do not need to be released back on the streets. Who wants to live in a community where we have so much violent crime, for the population ?
