Gunman Gets 7-Year Prison Term for Role in Funeral Shooting

The last of three gunmen involved in a shooting that occurred outside a Trenton church where another shooting victim's funeral was being staged is now headed to prison.

Twenty-three-year-old Terrance Maddox received a seven-year sentence Friday. He had pleaded guilty in May to aggravated assault.

Two men and a woman were wounded in the April 2014 shooting at Galilee Baptist Church but have recovered from their wounds. They were among more than 100 mourners who had gathered there for the funeral of a 19-year-old man.

Officials have said the shooters were aiming for rival gang members.

Two brothers involved in the shooting received prison terms last week. Twenty-year-old Samuel Vincent got a seven-year sentence, while his 22-year-old brother, Samier, received a five-year term. Both had pleaded guilty to aggravated assault.
