VIRGINIA â A Makinen man was sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison for opening fire on a random motorist last year.
Daniel Edmund Reitmajer, 25, pleaded guilty in November to one charge of attempted intentional second-degree murder by drive-by shooting stemming from a February 2020 incident in which he shot into a vehicle on Townline Road in Makinen in what authorities then called a ârandom act of violenceâ that resulted in no injuries.
Reitmajer entered a Norgaard plea in State District Court in Virginia, which allowed him to assert that he was unable to recall all the facts of the incident due to intoxication or otherwise, while acknowledging that there is sufficient evidence to obtain a conviction.
