Dwight Shotts was sentenced Thursday for the killing of Anthony Cline. A Marion County jury had convicted him of murder last month in Cline’s death.
Cline’s body was discovered in a bathtub inside Shotts’ house on April 30, 2018, after police received two 911 calls. The first caller said Shotts claimed to be suicidal, had a gun and there was a body in his home.
Shotts placed the second 911 and told a dispatcher, “There’s a guy dead in my house,” according to the county prosecutor’s office. He said during the call that he had shot a man in his bathroom a week before and told the dispatcher that he was armed and suicidal.
When officers arrived at Shotts’ residence, he exited his garage and surrendered without incident. A loaded revolver was found in Shotts’ garage, prosecutors said.
Cline was reported missing on April 24, 2018, and was last seen in the area near Shotts’ home.
