PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Judge Maureen Hogan sentenced Luis Delvalle-Rodriguez to serve 25 to 30 years in state prison and five years of probation afterward for shooting Nicholas Carnevale on Aug. 21, 2018 at a party at the Ashley Reservoir on October Mountain.

 

After a three-week jury trial, a Berkshire Superior Court Jury found the 27-year-old Delvalle-Rodriguez guilty last week of armed assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, armed kidnapping with serious bodily injury, two counts of armed kidnapping, two counts of assault and battery, and malicious damage to a motor vehicle.

 

At sentencing on Wednesday, the Commonwealth requested a sentence of 30 to 35 years. The Defense Counsel requested a sentence of 10 to 12 years plus five years of probation.

 

Delvalle-Rodriguez nearly killed Carnevale when he shot him twice during an attack in which Delvalle-Rodriguez and others pulled Carnevale from his vehicle, then assaulted and shot him. 

 

Co-defendants Kevin Nieves and Daquan Douglas were also convicted. The court initially sentenced Nieves to 20 to 25 years in State Prison but is expected to increase that sentence in accordance with the Commonwealth's arguments. The court sentenced Douglas to serve up to four years on a single count of misleading a police officer.
