Xavier Garcia, 17, has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for the murder of Joseph Martinez, 19, at an Adams County party hall.
District Attorney Brian Mason said: “This young defendant shot and killed a fellow teenager for nothing.” Garcia had organized and promoted an event at the venue on March 23, 2024.
"Martinez was standing against a wall, next to a fight that had broken out, when Garcia approached Martinez, pulled out a .45 caliber handgun, and shot the victim in the chest," prosecutors said. "Chaos erupted as party goers fled the scene and additional shots were fired."
The crime scene was located near the 2000-block of Tower Road, prosecutors said.
