A Pennsylvania man will spend years in state prison after pleading guilty to his role in a 2024 shooting and standoff with police at a pharmacy, according to the Lehigh County District Attorney’s Office.
The incident unfolded on Dec. 24, 2024, around 9 p.m. at the Fountain Hill Pharmacy located on the 1000 block of Broadway in Fountain Hill, Pennsylvania, officials said.
When officers arrived to the store, they said they saw two men inside the pharmacy who were later identified as Miguel Angel Martinez, 57, and David Montes Vazquez, 34.
Officers reported that Vazquez pointed his gun at an officer who then opened fire at the suspects. The gunfire did not hit the two men inside the store.
It was discovered that the two men broke into the store, used spray paint to cover the surveillance cameras and stole medication, police said.
Martinez pleaded guilty to felony charges of conspiracy to commit burglary, burglary and a misdemeanor charge of possessing instruments of crime back in May of 2026, officials said.
A judge sentenced Martinez to eight to 20 years in state prison.
Vazquez is facing charges including conspiracy to commit burglary, burglary, receiving stolen property and other related charges, officials said. He is scheduled for a status conference on June 30.
