A Kansas City, Kan., man was sentenced Friday to 13 years and 10 months in prison for the child abuse killing of his 4-year-old daughter.

Devondre Sanders, 29, was sentenced in Wyandotte County District Court where he pleaded guilty in October to second-degree murder and child abuse for the May 2016 death of his daughter, Honesty Sanders.

On May 27, 2016, Kansas City, Kan., police were called to the 700 block of Vermont Avenue, where they found Honesty unconscious on the floor of an apartment.

Officers began CPR, and the little girl was taken to a hospital but never regained.

Charges are pending against Sanders’ girlfriend, Sierra Mitchell.
