A Lancaster man is facing up to 33 years behind bars for two convictions related to a shooting in the city.
According to the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office, Chappell Williams, 42, was found guilty on charges related to a drug-deal shooting on the 800 block of Chestnut Street.
Lancaster County Judge Thomas Sponaugle sentenced Williams Monday to 9 to 18 years in state prison on charges of aggravated assault, firearms not to be carried without a license and persons not to possess firearms.
Investigators say the shooting occurred in February 2019 when Williams got into the back seat of a car to buy marijuana, and during the transaction, shot the person he was buying it from in the chest and leg, causing serious injury.
