MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A Milwaukee man was sentenced to life in prison after he was charged with shooting and killing his father last year.

Twenty-year-old Djuan Eskridge was charged with 1st- degree intentional homicide. 

The shooting happened on Oct. 9, 2023, near 7th and Malvina. 

Police located 15 spent casings near an injured victim -- identified as Eskridge's father -- and multiple fragmented bullets.  An autopsy revealed the victim was shot 31 times.
