A Latah County District Court judge has reimposed the sentences against the man who shot and killed a Pullman High School senior in 2017 after he violated his probation in Boise late last year.

22-year-old Keagan Tennant was sentenced in March 2018 on charges of involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, principal to destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence and principal to robbery.

Tennant shot and killed Timothy Reeves in July 2017 during a camping trip east of Troy. He hid Reeves’ body and fled to Curlew, Washington, about 10 miles south of the Canadian border. Tennant, who was 17 at the time, also stole a car at gunpoint from a Pizza Hut delivery driver before being arrested in northeastern Washington.

He was sentenced to concurrent sentences with a chance for parole after five fixed years. However, those sentences were suspended when he was placed on probation in December 2020.

According to a police report, Tennant was arrested in late November in Boise for violating his probation and was found with marijuana and an illegally possessed firearm.

Prosecutors say Tennant could have a chance at parole after he completes the five years in prison, which includes an Ada County sentence for his arrest in November.

He also could face significant prison time of up to 30 years for his charges. (Lewiston Tribune)
