Colorado Springs man sentenced to 60 years in prison after guilty verdict in 2022 Havana Bar murder
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- A Colorado Springs man, at the center of a murder investigation at Havana Bar and Grill in East Colorado Springs, has has been given a lengthy prison sentence after being found guilty in May.
Carnel Davis, 42, was arrested four days after 37-year-old Glenn Fruster was shot and killed in the parking lot of the popular bar on August 19, 2022. After an investigation by the Colorado Springs Police Department, the 4th Judicial District Attorney's office filed 12 charges against Davis including 1st-degree murder, 2nd-degree murder, robbery and felony menacing.
In May, an El Paso County jury found Davis guilty of 2nd-degree murder, robbery and three counts of felony menacing. Friday, an El Paso County judge sentenced Davis to 60 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections for the robbery and murder convictions.
In addition, Davis was also sentenced to six additional years for the felony menacing convictions in 2022. That prison term, and an additional three years for a felony menacing deferred sentence in 2021, will both run concurrently with the 60 year sentence.
