FORT WORTH – A man who was arrested in connection to a shooting in Burleson last summer has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for dealing methamphetamine, the U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of Texas says.

David Devaney Sr., 59, was sentenced on April 6 after he and his son, David Devaney Jr., 36, were found guilty of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance in November 2022.

The investigation into Devaney Sr. began in June 2022 when a cooperating defendant identified him as a methamphetamine distributor, court documents say. Later that month, law enforcement received a call about a 64-year-old woman who was shot and killed in Burleson.
