“He stole my father”: Patrick Shelton’s family speaks out for the first time after killer’s sentencing

The family of Patrick Shelton is speaking out for the first time, sharing their pain and anger just hours after Allan Douglas Bruce was sentenced yesterday, Nov. 17, for Shelton’s murder. The victim, who was killed in May of this year, would have celebrated his 48th birthday this past Saturday.

Local News 8 was able to speak in an exclusive interview with members of Patrick Shelton’s family following the sentencing. It was the first time Shelton's family went on camera to share their journey over the last seven months as they remembered the man whose life was taken far too soon.
