A Westlake Village man was sentenced Thursday to 21 years in prison for fatally shooting an instructor from Pasadena’s Art Center College of Design in 2010.
In November Steven Honma, 56, was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter in the death of Norman Schureman, 50. The two were at a Persian New Year’s Eve party on March 20, 2010, when Honma was asked to leave and returned with several weapons, ammunition and a serrated knife, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. When he was asked to leave a second time a fight ensued and Honma shot Schureman.
Schureman, a former resident of Altadena, was an Art Center alumnus and drawing instructor. After his death the school installed a memorial tree and plaque in his honor and created the Norm Schureman Sketch Garden.
