BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â An Amherst man has been sentenced to five years probation for requesting sexually explicit photos of a minor through a social media app.
The Erie County District Attorney s Office says on November 29, 2019 52-year-old Erick Guigui attempted to meet a person he believed to be a 15-year-old male at a location on Delaware and Kenmore Avenues in Buffalo. Before the arranged meeting Guigui requested sexually explicit photos from the victim through a social media app.
A shooting at a west Erie house party in late September resulted in the death of one man and the wounding of another as at least four people fired gunshots inside and outside of a Walnut Street apartment house, according to testimony presented at a preliminary hearing on Thursday.
Erie police initially charged two suspects with homicide in the case, but a magistrate at the hearing dismissed the homicide count against one of the two.
Erie 3rd Ward District Judge Tom Carney agreed with a defense argument that the bullets police said were fired from the one defendant s gun did not match the caliber of the bullets recovered from the body of the homicide victim, 25-year-old Dayquan Holloway.
