Kyle Walker, of Hyannis, will face 18-20 years after being found guilty of manslaughter in the shooting and death of David Anthony Colon.

BARNSTABLE, MA — A Barnstable man was sentenced to 18-to-20 years in prison for his role in the 2015 shooting and death of a 19-year-old Hyannis man. Kyle Walker, 28, pleaded guilty to a manslaughter charge in Barnstable Superior Court Tuesday.

Walker was one of two men involved in the killing of David Anthony Colon, 19, of Hyannis, prosecutors said.

Police said they reviewed security footage from nearby businesses to identify the two men. Prosecutors said officers later learned that Walker was overheard talking about getting a gun so he could get revenge for a large drug related debt.

A gun was found in the front yard of a house near the shooting, and according to police, it had Seme's fingerprints on it, and the caliber matched the bullet that killed Colon.
