NJ man gets 71 years in prison for North Bergen ‘mass shooting’ that left 1 dead
Hudson County prosecutors say a 30-year-old man has been sentenced to 71 years in state prison for shooting four people — killing one of them — at a North Bergen home three years ago.
Jonathan Haughey-Morales, of West New York, was sentenced on Tuesday to 50 years for the murder of 40-year-old Carlos Garcia.
He also received three consecutive, seven-year terms for aggravated assault — one for each surviving victim of the May 5, 2019 mass shooting, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez announced.
The other two men and one woman were rushed for treatment at a local hospital following the early morning incident.
Haughey-Morales was found with gunshot wounds himself a day later, roughly 95 miles away in Pennsylvania, authorities previously confirmed.
He was convicted on all charges by a jury on March 2, following a two-week trial.
Under the No Early Release Act, Haughey-Morales must serve at least 42 and a half years of the 50-year sentence — as well as roughly 18 years of the other three, consecutive sentences.
