Kevin Roldan-Pantojas
A Jamestown man has been sentenced to 10 years in state prison in a fatal drive-by shooting that took place in the City in August 2022.
The Chautauqua County District Attorney’s Office said 24-year old Kevin Roldan-Pantojas pled guilty on November 13 in County Court to 1st Degree Manslaughter for the homicide of Jesus Batista-Perez on Prendergast Avenue.
District Attorney Jason Schmidt said that the conviction and sentence is not a cause for celebration, saying in a statement, “More than 20 gunshots from two separate groups were fired in a residential neighborhood on Prendergast Avenue, during a summer afternoon, a few feet from where children played and families socialized outside their homes. That no one other than members of the feuding groups were hurt is a miracle.”
Schmidt praised the Jamestown Police Department‘s investigation of the homicide, calling it “impeccable and exceptional.”
So what’s the sentence? How are you going to have an article about him being sentenced, then not give the sentence. WTF kind of reporting is that?
The information is in the first sentence of the article.
