Man sentenced for role in gang-related shooting
CALDWELL, Idaho (AP) _ A man has been sentenced to at least six
years in prison in a 2004 shooting death in Caldwell. Third District Judge Bradley Ford sentenced 32-year-old Richard Alaniz to 15 years in prison for aiding and abetting in the killing of Carlos Chavez. The Idaho Statesman reports Alaniz will be eligible for parole after 6 years. The 22-year-old Chavez was shot in the neck as he stood in the kitchen of a Caldwell house. Authorities say the shooting was gang related. Alaniz pleaded guilty and testified against another defendant, Michael Alfaro, as part of a plea agreement. Last year, Alfaro was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 20 years. Another man, Arandu Chavez Maceda, is serving a 25-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault. Comments ( |
