Judge Melissa Lightcap Cianfrini sentenced Jeremy G. Ives, 48, of Batavia, NY, to 15 years in state prison during his sentencing on Friday morning in Genesee County Court.
Ives was found guilty on two counts of attempted first-degree assault with a weapon, and one count of menacing with a weapon, after a four-day trial in Genesee County Court last month.
Ives was located by police a week after two people were shot at near the 7-Eleven on East Main Street and Elm Street on August 12, 2022.
According to police, Ives fired a single shot, injuring two people. One of the victims was transported to the hospital, where they were treated and later released. The other victim was treated on scene and released.

Following the shooting, Ives fled the scene in a vehicle with other passengers. It is alleged that one of those passengers attempted to exit the vehicle multiple times. The jury acquitted Ives of the kidnapping charge. Police say Ives knew the victims in the incident.
Ives was also sentenced to 5 years of Post Release Supervision.
