A 35-year-old man who committed a series of Phoenix robberies during which two people were shot has been sentenced to 65 years in prison, Maricopa County officials said.
Both victims survived the shootings by Trey Waters, but the prison sentencing “sends an unmistakable message that anyone who terrorizes innocent people with a gun will be held accountable,” Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said.
On April 12, 2021, Waters forced his way into a hotel room near 51st Avenue and the I-10, where he shot a man in the neck, tied a woman’s hands together with duct tape and then took off with their money, according to a release from the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.
