A Neosho man who killed David Reynolds, 27, Carthage, during a road rage incident June 9, 2018on Highway 249 near the intersection with 1-44, pleaded guilty Wednesday to an amended charge of voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Christ Montz, 26, had originally been charged with first degree murder. A second felony charge, armed criminal action, was dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
The probable cause statement detailed the confrontation between Montz and Reynolds, indicating the two men pulled to the shoulder and while the men were arguing, Reynolds punched Montz twice in the face. Montz pulled a gun and shot Reynolds in the head.

If he would have gotten a high priced lawyer he could have gotten off.
He looks like he might be a low information participant when it comes to attroney selection.
This is outrageous. If he had murdered my son or brother......
And that’s exactly what he did, he murdered a man.
To be fair, the man who lost his life struck this guy first. This guy's retaliation was overboard, but it took two to create the circumstances.
The victim ‘struck’ the guy first. He didn’t shoot first.
Yeah, that is exactly what I said. Then went on to say that the retaliation was overboard. Thanks for helping to recap.
