HELENA — The 44-year-old Helena man who admitted to fatally shooting two of his neighbors during an argument in a downtown apartment building earlier this year has received two concurrent sentences of life in prison with the eligibility of parole in 30 years.

Tilmon R. Nungesser IV entered guilty pleas on two charges of deliberate homicide in August. As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors dropped an additional charge of assault with a weapon.

Nungesser said he shot brothers Robert Alan Mishler, 40, and William Andrew Mishler, 42, on Feb. 20 at the Sherwood Apartments across the street from the City-County Building in Helena. Nungesser said he knowingly killed the men.

Prosecutors say Nungesser shot the two neighbors at close range with a shotgun because he felt they were being too loud.

Autopsy results indicate William Mishler was shot three times and Robert Mishler was shot once in the neck. Nungesser told police he shot William Mishler multiple times because “he didn’t like the man.”

Nungesser told investigators he “intended to kill the men because they were making too much noise that night and had made too much noise on previous nights," according to court documents.
