District Attorney Gavin P. Holihan and Allentown Police Chief Charles Roca have announced a man charged in a mass shooting that injured six people near a festival has been sentenced to decades in state prison.

Yunior Peralta-Quintana, 23, of Allentown, was convicted in January of attempted murder, three counts of aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person and firearms not to be carried without a license for the shootings that occurred Aug. 25, 2024.

He was also convicted of several witness intimidation charges..

Peralta-Quintana was sentenced to serve 40 to 80 years in state prison by Judge Anna-Kristie M. Marks.

There was also court testimony at this sentencing hearing that Peralta-Quintana is a self-admitted member of the Trinitarios gang.

Also charged in the case is Miguel Ovalles Ubri, 29, of Allentown.

Around 6:45 p.m. Aug. 25, 2024, Allentown Police officers were in the area of the 100 block of

North Seventh Street near where the city’s Dominican festival and parade had occurred.

The investigation revealed an extremely chaotic crime scene that included surveillance and officer body-worn cameras that showed crowds of people enjoying the festival, including children and young adults. They were sent scrambling for cover after a barrage of gunshots were fired at each other by both Peralta-Quintana and Ovalles Ubri.

Multiple Allentown Police officers responded to the scene and arrived while the two defendants were still shooting. Two of those officers fired during this incident, but none of the wounded victims were shot by those officers. No officers were injured.

The addition of extra officers patrolling the festival and nearby areas and their quick response and life-saving measures of treating victims with tourniquets most certainly saved lives that day.

This case is investigated by Allentown Police Detectives Theodore Kiskeravage and Miguel Villa and was prosecuted by Senior Deputy District Attorney Patricia Turzyn and Assistant District Attorney Kinda Alhanna.
