Ruiz sentenced to six years in state prison
MAYVILLE — Rebecca Ruiz was sentenced today by Chautauqua County Court Judge David Foley to a six-year state prison term plus five years of post release supervision for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Ruiz was acquitted of all charges but the second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in March. The charges stemmed from a shooting incident that occurred around 10 p.m. on July 6 at 141 Lake Shore Drive East in the city. She was first charged with second-degree murder in the death of Julian Duman, also of Dunkirk.
Here’s a look at the timeline regarding the case — from the incident to the jury’s ruling:
