A jury found 51-year-old Tommy Bush guilty at trial in November of five felonies related to the shooting of three people. It happened in February outside a bar near 6th and Cleveland on the city's south side.

"I think your actions on that day were cowardly, sir," the judge told Bush during Friday's sentencing hearing.

Police said Bush interrupted a private birthday party and was asked to leave after hitting on a woman during the celebration. Surveillance video showed Bush walk outside to confront three men: Christian Colon-Delgado, Giordano Colon-Delgado and Luis Santana.

That's when prosecutors said Bush pulled out a gun and started shooting. Christian Colon-Delgado was shot a dozen times and died at the scene. The other two men were wounded. Bush then walked away, according to police.
