YOUNGSTOWN — One more of the six men charged with shooting into the apartment of Crystal Hernandez Jan. 24, 2019, killing her as she held her young child, has entered a guilty plea to reduced charges.
Marquis Torres, 23, of Dogwood Lane pleaded guilty today to involuntary manslaughter and conspiracy in exchange for prosecutors recommending that he get 23 years in prison when he is sentenced later.
He was indicted on aggravated murder and other offenses and could have resulted in a life prison sentence if convicted at trial.
Torres and the other five men are accused of going to the East Side apartment that Hernandez, 23, shared with boyfriend Gabriel Smith Jr., 20, and their son, 2, and firing scores of gunshots into the home. It was at the end of a daylong feud involving some of the young men and Smith.
