PORT ANGELES — A Seattle man has been sentenced to nine years in prison for a shooting at Shane Park in 2009.
Andraees L. Henderson, 20, who was sentenced Tuesday in Clallam County Superior Court, shot Michael A. Rosche twice at the park at about 1 a.m. Oct. 1, 2009.
Rosche, who was in the front passenger seat of a car at the time, survived.
He was treated at Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles for wounds to the right wrist and left knee and was eventually discharged.
Henderson pleaded guilty to second-degree conspiracy to commit robbery and first-degree assault with a deadly weapon last month.
Henderson’s accomplice, 23-year-old Edward K. Perez, was sentenced to six months in jail in March after pleading guilty to second-degree conspiracy to commit robbery.
Police said Henderson and Perez met Rosche at the west Port Angeles park to get money that they believed Rosche owed them.
When he didn’t hand over the money, Henderson fired at him at least four times, hitting him twice, police said.
Perez was arrested shortly after the shooting. Henderson was believed to have fled the area and was not arrested until a year later.
Authorities arrested Henderson in October for the shooting after he was convicted of a drug charge in Jefferson County. He was held in Jefferson County jail until he was transported to Clallam County.
