According to an agreed statement of facts, the three men broke into the house armed and demanding drugs and money.
Horse was shot in the kneecap and buttock before later dying in hospital.
In the victim impact statements heard Monday, Horse’s partner, Chris Stone, wrote he warned Horse that living close to 20th Street was unsafe because people can’t see his kindness.
A joint submission from the Crown and defence put forward a nine-year sentence for Nepoose.
The judge Richard Danyliuk accepted the submission, calling the shooting senseless and fuelled by drugs.
Nepoose will serve six years with remand credit.
The trial for the two co-accused will move forward Wednesday.
