A convicted felon, Noah Martin, has received a 40-year prison sentence, with 30 years to serve and 10 years on probation, for his involvement in a 2025 motel shooting that claimed the life of a 9-month-old child. The sentencing occurred in Cobb County Superior Court. Martin pleaded guilty to charges including voluntary manslaughter and cruelty to children.
Prosecutors detailed that the fatal stray bullet did not originate from Martin's firearm. However, he was found to be complicit in the events preceding the shooting. Co-defendant Ladarrius Brown faces charges including Felony Murder. The incident stemmed from an argument between Jayvian Young and Brown over a woman, escalating to a planned meeting at the Budgetel Inn & Suites.
Security footage captured Martin and Young arriving at the motel with guns. Judge Victor Reynolds emphasized the preventable nature of the tragedy and the severe consequences, acknowledging Martin's acceptance of responsibility for his actions in the death of an innocent child.
