SALISBURY, Md. (AP) - A Delmar man convicted of fatally shooting another man and shooting at the victim's son has been sentenced to 75 years in prison.

Thirty-year-old Eddie Lee Savage Jr. was convicted in February of second-degree murder of 48-year-old Kenneth Sparks of Hurlock. He was sentenced Thursday in Wicomico County Circuit Court.

Authorities say Savage shot Kenneth Sparks in the face after an argument July 7 in a driveway outside Savage's home. Prosecutors say Savage also shot at Kenneth Sparks' adult son, Joshua Sparks.
