Man Sentenced To 48 Years In Prison For Lakewood Shooting

LAKEWOOD, CO — A 24-year-old man who was part of a trio involved in a botched robbery has been sentenced to 48 years in prison for a Lakewood shooting. The sentence was handed down in Jefferson County District Court Tuesday.

Damon Omar Porter shot 24-year-old William Scott at close range on April 4, 2018, the First Judicial District Attorney said.

Porter was with Dominic Pacheco-Donelson and Jazmine Hunter in a stolen car when they followed Scott into his apartment complex parking lot, the DA's office said. Porter and Hunter got out of the car and pulled out a gun on Scott, demanding his keys and phone. Prosecutors said Porter shot Scott in the shoulder as he stood two feet away.

Following trial in August, a jury found Porter guilty of First Degree Assault and three counts of Aggravated Robbery. He was also charged and convicted of two habitual criminal counts.

Dominic Pacheco-Donelson, 24, was sentenced Nov. 5 to 24 years in prison for his role in the shooting. Donelson was facing his sixth felony conviction and had provided the gun used in the shooting while on federal parole for gun trafficking, the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office said.

Hunter pleaded guilty to robbery. On Aug. 28, 2019, she was sentenced to five years on probation, with one year jail on the work release program.
