EASTON, Pa. (AP) - A New Jersey man has been sentenced to 16 to 32 years in prison in the eastern Pennsylvania murder of a woman four years ago that authorities called a gang-related revenge killing.
A Northampton County judge imposed the sentence Tuesday on 20-year-old Xavier Snyder of Washington, New Jersey. Snyder had pleaded guilty in November 2019 to third-degree murder and conspiracy in the February 2017 slaying of 19-year-old Teayahe Glover of Bethlehem.
In January of last year, jurors deliberated for about three hours before acquitting 37-year-old Kasheem Aiken of Easton of homicide and conspiracy in Glover’s death. Snyder had testified that Aiken blamed Glover for a shooting that wounded their friend. Aiken’s attorney alleged that Snyder shot the victim to rise in the ranks in a gang.
