Portland men who shot and killed pregnant woman during burglary sentenced to only 7.5 and 10 years in prison, respectively

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] On Friday, Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt announced the convictions of two men found guilty in the shooting death of a 21-year-old pregnant woman inside her Portland
...a formerly lovely city in Oregon, governed by an unholy alliance of communists, anarchists, and incompetents. In 2017 the city was named as the fifth most business-friendly in the nation. It took only three years for the city to degenerate to the point where it became a national embarrassment, with antifa and Black Lives Matter bullying taxpayers and occasionally shooting one as an example to the others...
, Oregon, apartment in August of 2014.

27-year-old De'Anthony Simmons and 29-year-old Kelani Brown pleaded guilty to charges of Manslaughter in the Second Degree with a Firearm and Burglary First Degree stemming from the homicide of Ervaeua Ronchelle Herring, according to a blurb from the Multnomah County District Attorney's office.

Simmons received a 10-year prison sentence, while Brown was senteced to 7.5 years in prison for the separate convictions announced Friday.

According to the district attorney's office, the shooting of Herring came as a retaliation to an earlier fight in downtown Portland. Simmons and Brown were reportedly present during the fight when an associate of theirs was shot.

Two black men involved in shooting dead a pregnant 21-year-old Portland, Ore. woman when they broke into her home were sentenced today to only 10 years & 7.5 years in prison, respectively. The convicts & their armed accomplices fired 30 rounds into her apartment.

"In retaliation, Brown, Simmons, and others drove to Herring's apartment complex looking for DeAndrae Stevens, who was associated with individuals that participated in the fight. Herring and Stevens shared a child," the DA's office wrote. Six armed gunmen reportedly entered the wrong apartment while looking for Stevens' apartment threatening the resident and her small children with guns.

"Realizing their mistake, the gunmen knocked on Herring's back door and fired approximately 30 shots into the apartment when she came to the door, killing Herring," the district attorney's office wrote. Investigations revealed that gang activity was a "common thread" between Stevens and the defendants.

The trail was scheduled to begin Monday, but the prosecution was "hampered by multiple critical witnesses' reluctance to testify due to safety concerns."

Stevens was also fatally shot two weeks ago in Portland, contributing further to "safety concerns" and "lack of cooperation" among critical witnesses.

Four other defendants have previously pled guilty in connection to the case.

Jeffrey Lamont Sims Jr. pled guilty to second-degree manslaughter, Latasha Lynn Davis pled guilty to conspiracy to commit murder, Tony Lamar Brown pled guilty to murder, first-degree burglary and unlawful use of a weapon, and Geontae Brauchard Jones plead guilty to second-degree manslaughter with a firearm, according to The Oregonian.

Another defendant, Demetruis Ray Brown, had charges dropped after it was determined that he was unfit to stand trial.

You reap what you sow. Yeah, defund the police. Feel safe?

#5 According to Oregon Live it was a gang thing:

Herring, who was pregnant at the time of her death, was killed by a barrage of bullets fired from at least six guns through the sliding back door of her Eastwood Village Apartment on Southeast Powell Boulevard, according to police and prosecutors.

The Aug. 17, 2014, shooting stemmed from a feud between the Woodlawn Park Bloods and Hoover gang — and came hours after two Hoover gang members were pistol-whipped and one was shot in downtown Portland, according to court papers.

After the downtown violence, Hoover gang members are accused of shooting up Herring’s apartment in retaliation while looking for DeAndrae Stephens, who was associated with the people who participated in the earlier fight downtown, according to police.

#6 The 'De' on the right is rather dashing. Pencil moustache a la Bryan Ferry, with that subtle hint of a potential hair part, jauntily angled, in his shaven head.

Billy Zane could play him in the movie.
