WILLOWBROOK, Ill. (WLS) -- One of the men charged in a 2023 deadly mass shooting in the west suburbs was sentenced Thursday.

Prosecutors say Anthony Mothershed was among a group of people who opened fire on a Juneteenth gathering in Willowbrook.



The gunfire wounded more than 20 people and killed Reginald Meadows, a father of two.

Mothershed pleaded guilty in January to aggravated discharge of a firearm. He was previously denied pretrial release.



He was sentenced to four years in prison, serving 85%.

Fredrick Turner and Franshun Jordan were also charged in the attack. They're due in court in April.
