He pleaded no contest earlier this month to manslaughter.
Authorities say 25-year-old Dyante Neal was talking to two men outside the Coyote Ugly Saloon in Tampa’s Ybor City area in September 2019 when one of the men became aggressive.
Officials say Jasper approached Neal from behind and hit him in the side of his face. Neal fell and hit his head.
He died at a hospital several days later.
