TAMA COUNTY, Iowa —

A Tama County man will spend the rest of his life behind bars in connection to a 2021 deadly shooting.

Huston Danker pleaded guilty in August to first-degree murder for the death of Ryan Cooper.

The state argued Danker and Cooper's wife, Karina, planned the crime together while having an affair. Officials say Karina was the one who pulled the trigger.

She was found guilty of first-degree murder earlier this year and was sentenced to life in prison last month .
