Vaughn Smith cries during his court appearance

News footage of Vaughn Smith during his sentencing hearing on April 18 (WZZM).

A Michigan man who shot his girlfriend during an argument about the paternity of one of their children learned his fate during a sentencing hearing on Friday.

Vaughn Smith, who was 35 years old at the time of the shooting, sobbed in court during his sentencing hearing. Almost a full year after the May 2024 altercation between Smith and his girlfriend, whose name was being kept private, Smith stood before a judge as he pleaded guilty to assault with intent to commit murder and two firearms charges. In addition to his admitting to the crime, his girlfriend also asked for leniency.

But ultimately, it was up to the judge.
