Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, Jaffet R. Vellon, 23, was sentenced to 22 years in prison and 10 years of extended supervision for the 1st-degree reckless homicide and use of a dangerous weapon in the August 7, 2020 shooting death of Leonel Gutierrez-Vera, 37, and wounding his 23-year-old wife.
Vellon was ordered to pay $11,562.44 in restitution, according to court records.
Gutierrez-Vera's wife told police that her husband had gotten into an accident with Vellon who apparently took out a handgun and Gutierrez-Vera immediately sped off and warned his wife that the suspect had a gun.
Gutierrez-Vera later stopped at S. 15 and W. Mitchell Streets when Vellon spotted the couple. Vellon shot multiple shots at the couple inside the truck and fatally struck Gutierrez-Vera at least 5 times and grazing his wife in the forehead.
Vellon was detained a few days later and admitted to police that he had shot Gutierrez-Vera over an accident near S. 16th Street and W. Burnham in the Southside of Milwaukee.
