Freddy Patterson and Charles Adams.

A group of young men in Arizona, all teenagers at the time, fired more than 20 bullets into a car full of children and fellow teens — including a 5-year-old boy who was killed — then picked up dinner afterward and returned to the scene to take a video, which they used to “brag about the shooting,” according to prosecutors.
Alfred Gary, 18, Freddy Patterson, 18, and Charles Adams, 20, were sentenced this week for the deadly 2023 drive-by, which was said to have been gang-related, according to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. The trio was driving in Tempe when they came across a car filled with seven people and blasted away.
All three defendants pleaded guilty to multiple felony offenses, including second-degree murder, drive-by shooting, conspiracy to commit drive-by shooting, and aggravated assault. Gary was handed a 16-year prison sentence, while Patterson and Adams were each sentenced to 30 years, the attorney’s office announced. A fourth alleged shooter, Demarcus Frazier, 32, still has his case pending and is facing the death penalty.
“There were seven people in the other car, most of whom were children and teens,” the release said. “The defendants fired more than 20 rounds into the Impala, killing a 5-year-old boy. A 17-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl were wounded. The defendants then picked up dinner before returning to the crime scene to take a video, which they used to brag about the shooting with fellow gang members.”

According to prosecutors, Patterson and Adams are both documented members of a local Phoenix street gang and they had “an issue” with a rival gang member who was allegedly a passenger in the Impala. The pair was given an additional 5 years in prison for a separate drive-by shooting in Phoenix that occurred just two days before the Impala was targeted.

Hopefully Demarcus gets the needle.
 
Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell has announced that Alfred Gary (DOB: 08/2006), Freddy Patterson (DOB: 10/2006), and Charles Adams (DOB: 06/2005) have been sentenced for a deadly gang-related drive-by shooting.
In March 2023, the defendants pulled up alongside a black Impala stopped at a red light in Tempe. There were seven people in the other car, most of whom were children and teens. The defendants fired more than 20 rounds into the Impala, killing a 5-year-old boy. A 17-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl were wounded.

The defendants then picked up dinner before returning to the crime scene to take a video, which they used to brag about the shooting with fellow gang members.
During the investigation, police discovered that Patterson and Adams, both documented members of a Phoenix street gang, had an issue with a rival gang member who was a passenger in the other vehicle.
All three defendants pleaded guilty to a range of felony offenses, including second-degree murder, drive-by shooting, conspiracy to commit drive-by shooting, and aggravated assault. Gary was sentenced to 16 years in prison, while Patterson and Adams were each sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Patterson and Adams were given an additional 5 years in prison for a separate drive-by shooting in Phoenix just two days earlier. In that incident, they shot into a car with a mother, her 3-year-old son, and 14-year-old daughter inside. No one was hurt.
