OGDEN — An Ogden man has been sentenced to prison in a shooting death after pleading guilty to manslaughter.
Isaac Daniel Duran, 24, was sentenced Thursday to four concurrent prison terms — two sentences of zero to five years and two terms of one to 15 years — after pleading guilty last month to the shooting on an Ogden street.
The sentence will also run concurrent to a prison term of up to five years in a separate case for failure to stop at command of police, a third-degree felony.
Duran pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the gang-related death of Steven Ferguson, 34, and admitted to a reduced charge of possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, a second-degree felony, and two counts of discharge of a firearm, third-degree felonies. Two additional cases were dismissed in the deal.
Duran was originally charged with murder, a first-degree felony.
Police responding to reports of shots fired on Feb. 23, 2015, found Ferguson's body in the street next to his car on the 3500 block of Jefferson Avenue.
Surveillance cameras across the street captured the shooting. The footage shows Ferguson arriving at a home at 3552 Jefferson Ave. in has car at 6:43 p.m., then later running back toward his car as someone chased him, firing a gun, according to court documents.
Duran was treated at an area hospital that night, bleeding from his abdomen, according to court documents. He would not tell hospital staff about the altercation that caused the injury.
An abandoned handgun and a trail of blood, later identified as Duran's, was found leading from the scene of the shooting to his nearby home, 3476 Adams Ave. Police serving a search warrant on the home located a box of ammunition in Duran's home that matched bullets in the recovered revolver, charges state.
