A Collinsville man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison in the fatal shooting of a SEMO student during a botched carjacking.

21-year-old Christopher Grant was sentenced Monday for second-degree murder and three other charges in the killing of 19-year-old Bobby Christman.

Christman was sitting in a parked car in January 2015 in St. Louis with his brother and girlfriend when another vehicle pulled up. Police say a gunman opened the rear driver’s side door of the parked car and tried to grab the woman’s purse. She resisted and Christman was shot when he said something to the gunman, who then fled.
