Pair convicted in Kaluza case face sentencing Tuesday
YOUNGSTOWN — Two people convicted in the March 24 shooting and robbery of a South Avenue restaurant manager will learn their fates Tuesday.
Taran Helms, 23, of West Hylda Avenue, and Hattie Gilbert, 20, of East Judson Avenue, are scheduled for sentencing Tuesday morning before Judge Timothy E. Franken of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.
A six-man, six-woman jury last week convicted Helms of attempted murder, aggravated robbery, felonious assault and kidnapping, all with specifications that a gun was used, in the shooting of Joseph Kaluza.
Jurors convicted Gilbert of complicity to all of the same charges.
The maximum each could face is 50 years in prison.
