BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) \u2014 A Bakersfield man was sentenced Thursday after pleading no contest to felony charges in connection with the fatal shooting of a teen at his home that occurred after he left a gun unsecured. <\/p>\n
Gregory Wisniewski, 34, received a total of three years in prison \u2014 two in connection with the deadly shooting, plus another year tacked on for convictions in other cases, prosecutors said. <\/p>\n
On Jan. 12, 2024, a group of teens were hanging out at Wisniewski\u2019s home on Provincetown Avenue in southwest Bakersfield and got hold of a handgun. They were playing with it when the gun went off.<\/p>\n
Jayden Henry Marvin Jackson, 14, was hit in the neck and died.<\/p>\n
The teen holding the gun when it fired was wounded on his left hand. He told investigators he didn\u2019t think the gun was loaded.<\/p>\n
There were conflicting statements as to how the teens got hold of it. At least one teen said Wisniewski gave them the gun, according to court documents, while others said they retrieved the weapon from a room.<\/p>\n
The other cases against Wisniewski involved drug offenses and vehicle theft, according to court records. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BAKERSFIELD, Calif.
