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 Criminal 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 was riding in a vehicle when he 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, 28-year-old Jerome Hall, that day when he attempted to flee the scene in a vehicle, leading to a chase, according to police.
Hall was charged in December 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.
Hall faces anywhere from 15 years to life in prison if convicted. He’s been offered a plea bargain for 25 years in prison, according to court documents. His next court date is scheduled for Thursday.
