2nd Brother Sentenced For Shooting Death Of Doylestown Native

PHILADELPHIA, PA — The second of two brothers charged in connection with the shooting death of a 38-year-old Bucks County native in front of his young daughter in 2017 has been sentenced, according to reports.

NBC10 first reported Marvin Roberts has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and on Friday was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the death of Gerard Grandzol.

Roberts was 16 at the time of the fatal shooting in Philadelphia. Last month, his 21-year-old brother, Maurice, was sentenced to 25 to 50 years in prison after pleading guilty to third-degree murder, robbery and conspiracy.

Grandzol was fatally shot in September 2017 during an attempted carjacking along the 1500 block of Melon Street.

Authorities say the brothers approached Grandzol as he was getting out of his car with his young daughter. They demanded his wallet and then his keys. When he didn't turn them over because his child was in the back seat, Marvin Roberts shot him the head, according to authorities.

Grandzol was described as a proud father who was active in community organizations and was fondly referred to as the "mayor" by neighbors. He and his wife had welcomed their second daughter just weeks before his death.

According to his obituary, Grandzol grew up in Doylestown and attended Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic School. He went on to graduate from Archbishop Wood High School, where he played varsity ice hockey, according to his Linkedin biography. On that site, he describes himself as a "professional legal solutions expert, urbanist, bike-riding, hockey playing, husband and father."

An online fundraiser set up to support Grandzol's wife and two children raised has raised nearly $295,000.
