By News Director Jared Atha

A plea deal has been reached by parties in the murder case of a Weatherford man.

21-year-old Tryston Proa was charged in August 2021 with, among other things, 1st degree murder after allegedly providing illegal drugs to his roommate that was claimed to have resulted in the man’s death.

The accepted plea will amend the murder charge to “manslaughter 2” with three years in prison with credit for time served. After time already served by Proa, he will need to spend another 6 to 8 months behind bars.

A separate plea to additional drug counts in the case will put Proa on 10 years of probation.

The plea deal came down shortly before jury selection began Monday morning in Custer County District Court.
