RAPID CITY, S.D. – A Rapid City man on Friday entered a guilty plea in connection with a fatal shooting in November of 2020.
Jason Ray Sharp, 44, pleaded guilty in Seventh Circuit Court to first degree manslaughter in the shooting death of 19-year-old Ocean Eberlein at a mobile home park near Reptile Gardens.
The factual basis statement in the case says Sharp admits to shooting Eberlein with a .22 caliber rifle after an argument.
Sharp faces up to life in prison when he’s sentenced, but the plea agreement in the case says both sides will ask for no more 20 years behind bars.
