UPDATE: Terrion Gates was ordered to spend the rest of his natural life in prison without parole for the second-degree homicide charge. The judge also added six to 12 year sentences for each charge of robbery and conspiracy to robbery.
WHAT WE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED
Plea and sentencing hearings are scheduled for Indiana County’s Court of Common Pleas today, including a hearing for a man charged with killing someone at the Carriage House Apartments in October of 2020.
22-year-old Terrion Gates of Johnstown will be sentenced today on charges of second degree murder, robbery-inflict serious bodily injury, and conspiracy to robbery. The charges stemmed from the shooting death of Jadeyn Wright at the apartments near IUP’s campus. He went with Isabella Edmonds of Indiana, Delmar Chatman of Johnstown and Isaiah Moore of Philadelphia to Wright’s apartment for a marijuana buy, and while the others planned to rob Wright, it was Gates who pulled the trigger on a gun he brought to kill Wright. He was arrested in Altoona in March of 2021.
This marks the third attempt at Gates’ sentencing. The defense had requested a delay in the sentencing last month.
Moore was sentenced in November to 17 to 34 years in prison and a year of probation after that for a guilty plea to murder in the third degree. Chatman pleaded to robbery-inflicting serious injury and is serving a 6–15-year prison sentence.
