January 18, 2014

An Escambia County man was sentenced to 40 years in prison Friday for the fatal shooting of a teen last year.

Scott Rozear Mason, 45, was convicted last month of second degree murder for the fatal shooting of his guest Matthew Nestle, 18, during an argument at a home on West Gadsden Street during December 2012. Mason first claimed the shooting was in self defense and he was trying to get the gun away from Nestle when it fired.

Mason had faced up to life in prison for the murder.
