Tashawn Rice, 20, has been sentenced to two to six years in state prison. A Staten Island judge denied youthful-offender status in the Tottenville High School shooting case. Justice Raymond Rodriguez rejected the defense request Tuesday, leaving the case publicly accessible. Rice pleaded guilty in September to second-degree conspiracy over the October 2022 shooting. The gang-related shooting during school dismissal injured an innocent 14-year-old student in the ankle. Rice will serve the majority of his sentence at adult correctional facilities.
