Two men convicted of killing an 18-month-old boy in downtown Pittsburgh last year will spend life in prison.
24-year-old Markez Anger of Wilkinsburg and 27-year-old Londell Falconer of Wilmerding were sentenced today.
They were found guilty of killing De'Avry Thomas in a drive-by shooting on May 29, 2022.
The baby was not the intended target, but was shot multiple times in his car seat.
"The evidence in this case proved guilt beyond doubt and was irrefutable thanks to the investigative work of the Pittsburgh Police," said DA Zappala. "This was a heinous, senseless crime that resulted in the loss of an innocent child's life. We are pleased with the sentencing outcome, and our hearts go out to the family of De'Avry during this time."
