RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — A Richmond man’s sentencing draws near after being found guilty this past February for a double shooting outside of George Wythe High School injuring two teen boys in April of 2023.
David Gutierrez, 19, will face a judge in Richmond City Circuit Court for a pre-sentencing report hearing.
A pre-sentencing report complies all history of a defendant—including criminal, personal, educational, employment, health, etc.—allowing the court to provide appropriate and fair sentences.
A four-day jury trial ended with a guilty verdict for Gutierrez on the following charges:
- Unlawful wounding
- Malicious wounding
- Using a firearm while committing a felony
- Possession of a firearm on school property.
The charges stem from the incident on Thursday, April 27, 2023 outside of George Wythe High School.
Richmond Police officers arrived at the school around noon to find the first victim, who was a boy with life-threatening injuries in a wooded area by the parking lot. Authorities confirmed, that the other victim, also a boy, took himself to the hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
