A Lakewood man was sentenced to 48 years in prison Tuesday after a Weld County jury convicted him of second-degree murder for the second time.

Kenneth Hoschouer, 45, was found guilty in December of murdering Christopher Grau, who was dating Hoschourer’s daughter, on July 5, 2019, according to a Tuesday news release from the 19th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

That day, after he had been drinking heavily, Hoschouer learned that his teenage daughter was dating a 22-year-old man and began arguing about the situation with his wife, who had not told him about the relationship, according to the release. Grau tried to calm him down by driving Hoschouer to a Firestone motorhome, where Hoschouer shot and killed him.

When they responded to the scene the following day, Firestone police found Grau lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to the head and 13 shell casings near his body, according to the release. Hoschouer was arrested two months later after police, with assistance from an HVAC service company, found the gun hidden in a vent inside the defendant’s home.

Hoschouer’s original conviction was overturned on appeal, according to the release. The prosecutors in the case were Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve Wrenn and Deputy District Attorney Ashley McCuaig, both with the 19th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
