One of the victims was seriously injured, and the other two suffered non-life threatening injuries.

In July, Singletary was located in Maryland and brought back to Western New York to face charges. He pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree attempted murder on Dec. 15, 2024.

After he gets out of prison, he will be subject to five years of post-release supervision.
