York Man Sentenced To 210 Months’ Imprisonment For Offenses Relating To Death Of A Five-Year-Old Boy

HARRISBURG - The United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Adrian Moye, age 34, of York, Pennsylvania, was sentenced yesterday by United States District Judge Jennifer P. Wilson to 210 months' imprisonment for possessing a firearm as a previously convicted felon and possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute.

According to United States Attorney Brian D. Miller, on August 20, 2019, Moye left a five-year-old boy unattended in a vehicle parked on East Philadelphia Street in York. Moye's loaded handgun was also in the vehicle. The gun was accidentally discharged, killing the five-year-old boy. Moye was prohibited from possessing firearms because he had previously been convicted of multiple felonies, including drug-trafficking offenses. A subsequent investigation revealed that Moye also possessed cocaine for distribution.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the York City Police Department investigated the case. Assistant United States Attorney Carlo D. Marchioli prosecuted the case.
