PA - Victor Grandy, 32, shot to death, Wilkes-Barre, 16 Oct 2016

Wanted: Dominic J Ray, 24
​

Family members of both Dominic Jaquariuspa Ray and Victor Grandy sat with bated breath, waiting for a sentence to be read.

On Monday, Ray’s family learned they wouldn’t see him in public for the next 20 to 40 years.

But Grandy’s family, who donned white T-shirts in honor of their late loved one, who they called “V-Mone,” will never see him again, as Ray pleaded guilty to Grandy’s 2016 murder at the Sherman Hills apartment complex in Wilkes-Barre.

One of Grandy’s cousins, Shanell Johnson, spoke briefly about the harm Ray’s crime had done to her family.

“You are not God. You do not decide who lives and dies. But on this day, you did,” she said. “For what, because you were angry? Anger is just an emotion that normally lasts a few minutes, but not for this.”

“I hope you rot in jail,” Johnson said at the end of her testimony.​
