Sentences Issued in Colorado Shooting Cases

Ruben Segovia II, 23, was sentenced to 31 years in prison for his role in the shooting of a nine-year-old girl during a neighbor dispute in January, while his father, Ruben Segovia-Diaz, is set for trial. In a separate case, Zakiyy Lucas, 24, was sentenced to two years in jail and eight years of community corrections after pleading guilty to attempted first-degree murder and other charges stemming from a 2022 shooting in Boulder. Lucas's plea deal was influenced by a compelling mitigation packet that highlighted his troubled past. In DeKalb County, Isaac Thompson received a life sentence for the murder of Aquandis Foston in a love triangle incident, while his girlfriend faces charges related to the crime. Additionally, Josue Hernandez-Gonzalez, 19, was sentenced to five years in the Youth Offender System for his involvement in an attempted murder case from May 2023, with the possibility of a suspended 15-year sentence if he successfully completes his term. These cases reflect ongoing issues of gun violence and the judicial responses to serious crimes in various communities.
