20-year-old gang member sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2022 Fort Worth fatal shooting
A 20-year-old former street gang member was sentenced to 30 years in prison in connection to a 2022 shooting that killed a man, according to the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office.
Ivan Powe’s sentence comes as he pleaded guilty to charges of murder, engaging in organized criminal activity, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, court documents show.
The District Attorney’s Office said Powe shot into a crowd of people on Nov. 30, 2022, leading to the death of 32-year-old Cortney Deshun Guy.
When Fort Worth police responded to the shooting call that day in the 1500 block of East Robert Street, they found both Guy and a 45-year-old woman shot.
Guy died and the woman was critically injured, police said.
Officers arrested the first suspect that day, 26-year-old Jerome Hall, when he attempted to flee the scene in a vehicle, ensuing a chase, according to police.
Hall was charged in Dec. 2022 with evading arrest and was later charged with murder.
Court documents show Hall is also facing charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and engaging in organized criminal activity.
He faces anywhere from 15 years to life in prison if convicted. His plea bargain requests 25 years in prison, according to court documents.
