In a recent sentencing, Matthew Schultz, 46, has been handed a 13-year prison term after pleading guilty to manslaughter for the 2022 death of 39-year-old Kevin Clevish. This decision comes from court records made public.
Following his arrest in August 2022, Schultz faced charges stemming from the incident in which he initially claimed Clevish died from a drug overdose, however, the Travis County Sheriff's Office revealed through an investigation that the death was the result of an assault, as reported by KXAN. His indictment for manslaughter occurred earlier this month and his sentence officially began on October 9, with Schultz already holding a jail credit of 777 days, which is just a little over two years already served.
The incident dating back to June 28 involved a 911 call placed from the 11200 block of Beach Road in a Jonestown neighborhood, Schultz and his wife were attempting CPR on an unresponsive Clevish when deputies and EMS medics arrived, the resuscitation attempts unfortunately failed and Clevish was declared dead shortly after, as detailed by CBS Austin.
