Storm Lake, Iowa — A Spirit Lake man has been found guilty of first-degree murder in the shooting death of his former girlfriend.
The trial for Christian Goyne-Yarns, the man accused of shooting Shelby Woizeschke outside GrapeTree Medical Staffing in Milford this past February, began on Tuesday with the prosecution spending parts of three days providing witness testimony and evidence that included the 911 call made by Woizeschke just minutes after being shot where she identified the defendant as the shooter.
The defense claimed Goyne-Yarns was not feeling well on the morning of the shooting and was in the restroom at his workplace in Spirit Lake at the time of the crime, but co-workers testified he was not able to be located and his pick-up was missing, with the truck being seen on surveillance video parking at the crime scene and waiting for the victim to arrive.
The case was moved to Buena Vista County after a change of venue was granted to the defense. Sentencing will take place in January. Goyne-Yarns faces a sentence of life in prison without parole.
