ALLENTOWN, Pa. – An Allentown man has been sentenced to decades in prison for charges in a mass shooting that injured six people in 2024. 

Yunior Peralta-Quintana of Allentown, 24, was convicted in January by a jury for attempted murder, three counts of aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, and firearms not to be carried without a license for the shootings that happened on Aug. 25, 2024, according to the Lehigh County District Attorney’s Office. 

Peralta-Quintana was also charged on May 7, 2025 with additional charges of Intimidation of a Witness/Victim – Refrain from Reporting, Criminal Solicitation to Intimidation of a Witness – Refrain from Reporting, Intimidate a Witness/Victim – Withhold Testimony, Criminal Solicitation to Intimidation of a Witness – Withhold Testimony, Retaliation Against a Witness or Victim and Criminal Solicitation to Retaliation Against a Witness or Victim, the DA’s office said.

The jury also convicted Peralta-Quintana of these charges as well.

In a hearing on Thursday, Peralta-Quintana was sentenced to serve 40 to 80 years in state prison.

There was also court testimony at this sentencing hearing that Peralta-Quintana is a self-admitted member of the Trinitarios gang, officials said. 

Also charged in the case is Miguel Ovalles Ubri of Allentown, authorities said. 

Around 6:45 p.m. Aug. 25, 2024, Allentown Police officers were in the area of the 100 block of N. 7th Street near where the city’s Dominican festival and parade had occurred.

The investigation revealed an extremely chaotic crime scene that occurred that included surveillance and officer body-worn cameras that showed crowds of people enjoying the festival, including children and young adults, the DA’s office said.

They were sent scrambling for cover after multiple gunshots were fired at each other by both Peralta-Quintana and Ovalles Ubri.

Multiple Allentown Police officers responded to the scene and arrived while the two were still shooting, according to officials.

Two of those officers fired during this incident, but none of the wounded victims were shot by those officers, the DA’s office said. No officers were injured.
