A Michigan man who was convicted of shooting his fiancee in the face at an Olive Garden in 2024 was sentenced to at least 20 years in prison.

Robert Monit, 42, was found guilty by a jury of 10 felonies and one misdemeanor in connection with a shooting at the Italian chain restaurant on June 2, 2024. His victim was his fiancee, 42-year-old Melissa Guerra, who later testified in his defense, claiming the shooting was accidental. However, witnesses at the Midland, Michigan, scene testified they saw Monit attack Guerra. One restaurant patron heard him scream, "The stupid b— deserves to die" before he beat her with the gun.
