Conway Man Sentenced for 2019 Home Invasion

A Conway man was sentenced to 10 years behind bars in connection to a home invasion that happened in December 2019. 30 year old Davonte Shepard pleaded guilty to assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature after being originally charged with attempted murder, burglary and pointing and presenting a firearm at a person. Horry County Police say two people forced their way into a Conway home and shot a man. That man then stabbed one of the intruders who was identified as Shepard. At the time of the incident, Shepard was on supervised release for a federal gun charge. He now faces a supervised release violation in federal court.
