Shane Teslik, 38, of Cedar Rapids, was sentenced to 10 years after a Linn County jury found him guilty of voluntary manslaughter in the Jan. 2, 2023, death of Devonna Walker, 29, who died after a kitchen knife stab following a racial slur incident. The victim’s mother spoke of the tragedy as a “heartless, racist act” and the judge ordered restitution to Walker’s heirs.
