A Kansas City, North, man was sentenced Friday to 20 years in prison in the shooting death of his uncle after an argument over chores.

Tye B. Lee, 18, pleaded guilty in February to second-degree murder in the slaying of Robbie L. Lee, 37. The incident occurred in October 2013 inside the residence in the 7000 block of Northeast 51st Terrace.

The victim said Lee was lazy and needed to do more chores. The two argued and Lee shot the victim in the chest.
