A Niles teenager has pleaded guilty in connection to a shooting on South 11th Street in January.

19-year-old Sawyer Matthew Holloway will be sentenced July 8 in Berrien County Trial Court on a charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder.

It was back in January when police were called the Little Caesars Pizza on 11th Street for a malicious destruction of property complaint involving two employees who were in a verbal dispute.

They received a 911 call moments later of a 34-year-old man who had been shot outside the nearby Dollar Tree store. The victim survived the shooting.

Holloway had also been charged with carrying a concealed weapon, assault with a dangerous weapon and two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, but those charges were dropped in exchange for the plea.

Leader Publications reports he faces more a maximum of 10 years in prison.
