A Michigan man convicted of injuring seven people at a West Virginia bar after being thrown out of a 2019 New Year’s Eve party was sentenced Monday to eight years in prison.
Kymoni Davis, 33, of Redford, Michigan, was sentenced in federal court for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

“This senseless act of gun violence demonstrates the consequences when firearms are in the wrong hands,” US Attorney Will Thompson said in a statement.

Davis was thrown out of a party at Kulture Hookah Bar in Huntington on Dec. 31, 2019 before returning with a 9mm handgun, federal prosecutors said. He fired several shots through the door and fled, authorities said.
Surveillance video helped investigators connect Davis to the crime. He was arrested in August 2020 by the US Marshals Service.
The victims of the shooting were treated at local hospitals and released. The bar was later closed due to licensing issues and failure to pay tax.
