MADISON, Wis. — The man who pleaded guilty in a 2022 shooting on Madison’s north side that left an 18-year-old dead was sentenced Tuesday to 12 years in prison, online court records show.
Aquille Lowe, 29, initially faced charges of first-degree intentional homicide by use of a dangerous weapon as a party to a crime in the death of 18-year-old Laron Bynum . As part of a deal, that charge was dismissed and in September 2023 Lowe pleaded guilty to first-degree reckless homicide as a party to a crime.
Two counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, one count of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon and one count of first-degree recklessly endangering safety were also dismissed as part of the deal but read in.
Lowe, along with then- 23-year-old Jakyra Peeples and then-30-year-old Charvis Blue, allegedly targeted Bynum, who was behind the wheel of an allegedly stolen car.
