APPLETON (NBC 26) -- The man charged in connection to a fatal officer-involved shooting at Jack's Apple Pub in Appleton has been convicted.

Henry Nellum, 36, of Milwaukee entered no contest pleas Thursday to felony murder, first degree recklessly endangering safety, possession of a firearm as a convicted felon, operating a firearm while intoxicated and carrying a concealed weapon.

Nellum allegedly fired a gunshot at Jack's Apple Pub on May 20, 2017, that police say led to a fatal officer-involved shooting.

Jimmie Montel Sanders, of Milwaukee, was killed when Appleton Police responded to the bar after Nellum allegedly got into a fight with another man and fired his gun, court documents said.

Sanders was described as an innocent bystander.

Nellum's sentencing is scheduled for 1 p.m. April 3 in Outagamie County Court.
