Ex-city planner gets 4-12 years in boxer's slaying

Court officials say Michael Chambliss was sentenced Monday by Clark County District Court Judge David Barker after pleading guilty in June to voluntary manslaughter with a deadly weapon.

Chambliss and his attorneys initially claimed self-defense in the death of 26-year-old Nigerian-born boxer Vincent Ekeoba Moses at a 7-Eleven store where Moses worked as a clerk.

Police said the two men argued about a woman, and the confrontation was recorded on surveillance video.
