Overview

  • Home monitoring must begin within two weeks, with one year of state supervision and 240 hours of community service ordered.
  • Kemp pleaded guilty in May to second-degree assault after initially facing first-degree charges.
  • The March 2023 incident involved shots fired at a Toyota 4Runner in a mall parking lot, and no one was injured.
  • Kemp maintains he returned fire while tracking stolen property, as prosecutors said they found no evidence the men shot first and an empty holster was later found in the abandoned SUV.
  • Roughly 30 supporters attended the hearing, including Marshawn Lynch, as Kemp apologized and said he plans to advocate against gun violence.
