"Baby-faced Teenager Receives 50-Year Sentence for Shooting 5-Year-Old in Gang Initiation"

Noah Ney, a 16-year-old gang member from Oklahoma, has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for shooting a five-year-old girl in the neck. Ney, who had a criminal record and had previously escaped from a juvenile detention center, was found guilty of multiple charges including firearms, drugs, gangs, theft, and assault. The court heard that Ney showed no amenability to treatment and had rejected previous attempts at rehabilitation. The judge scheduled a judicial review of his sentence in 2028, where it could be reduced if Ney demonstrates remorse and reform.
