Minneapolis man sentenced to 20 years for 2023 homicide

Walter Lee Hill, 59, was sentenced Friday to 240 months for the fatal shooting of Donald Edmondson in his home last year.

Mr. Hill pleaded guilty to second-degree intentional murder on Oct. 21. He has 337 days of credit for time served.

“Mr. Edmondson should still be alive,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said. “A violent act committed with such disregard by Mr. Hill has taken him from his family. This sentence delivers accountability and protects our community, and I hope it brings some measure of peace to Mr. Edmondson’s loved ones as they attempt to move forward with their lives.”

Case Number: 27-CR-23-25307
