Henrico Jury Recommends 78 Year Sentence in Drive-by Shooting


Posted on Dec 03, 2009

A 19-year-old Henrico gunman, convicted last night of first-degree murder and multiple weapons charges, should serve 78 years in prison, a Henrico jury recommended after a two-day trial.

The jury found Marcus A. Yancey guilty of seven charges linked to a drive-by shooting in an eastern Henrico neighborhood plagued in recent years by violence.

The shooting apparently was sparked by long-standing rivalries between the Central Gardens community off Mechanicsville Turnpike and the New Bridge community off Nine Mile Road, but the specifics were never presented in court.

Quintin L. Chambers, who'd grown up in the New Bridge area and was known as Skittles, died from a single bullet wound to the back, one of six shots unloaded by Yancey from his sport utility vehicle, evidence showed.

Chambers was shot as he worked on a car stereo and chatted with friends.
