ALLENTOWN, Pa. – An Allentown man has been convicted by a jury for charges in a mass shooting that injured six people near a festival.

Yunior Peralta-Quintana of Allentown was convicted of Attempted Murder, three counts of Aggravated Assault, Recklessly Endangering Another Person and Firearms Not to be Carried without a License for the shootings that occurred 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 jury also

convicted Peralta-Quintana of these charges as well, according to the DA’s Office. 

He faces a possible sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

He is scheduled for sentencing on March 5, 2026 before Judge Marks.

Also charged in the case is Miguel Ovalles Ubri of Allentown, according to officials.

He is awaiting trial on charges of Attempted Murder, Aggravated Assault, Simple Assault and Recklessly Endangering Another Person.

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, officials said. 

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.

They were sent scrambling for cover after a barrage of gunshots were fired at each other by both Peralta-Quintana and Ovalles Ubri, according to officials.

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

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

The addition of extra officers patrolling the festival and nearby areas and their quick response and life-saving measures of treating victims with tourniquets most certainly saved lives that day, according to officials.
