NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -

A Davidson County judge sentenced a man to 23 years in prison Wednesday for the 2009 shooting death of a karaoke DJ.

DJ Ben Goeser was working with his wife inside Johnny's Sports Bar in south Nashville the night of April 2 when Hank Wise, 47, shot him several times.  

Police said he was obsessed with Goeser's wife.

Witnesses tackled Wise and held him until police arrived.

A psychiatrist who had examined Wise testified he has a delusion disorder.
