Here's the lowdown—two young ladies, Erika Covington, 21, and Arionna Taylor, 22, are facing some serious jail time. The judge has handed them each a minimum 10-year sentence. But let's rewind...

Your friendly neighborhood wordsmith, Richard Janvrin, has been chronicling the casino and sports scenes since 2015. With a strong background in English/Journalism, he's been staring down the barrel of the online casino industry since the PASPA repeal in 2018. Richard's all about keeping you informed on the latest casino news, breaking it down with clear, unbiased reports.

But let's get back to the main event. The shootout in Vegas spelled doom for Bryan Altamirano-Solano, and the perpetrators have been identified as Covington and Taylor. Both ladies were hit with some heavy charges, including open murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Right now, they're still cooling their heels in jail, and their next court date is set for May 2025. The legal system's moving at its usual glacial pace, apparently.

But the verdict, when it came, was clear—ten years minimum behind bars for each of them. While official records don't confirm a May 2023 sentencing date at this juncture, it's worth noting the family has been attending recent court hearings.

Richard Janvrin, a journalism graduate from 2015, has had a long-standing interest in the casino and sports betting scenes, especially since the PASPA repeal in 2018.
Erika Covington and Arionna Taylor, both 21 and 22 respectively, have been sentenced to a minimum of ten years in prison for a murder that occurred in Las Vegas, Nevada, in May 2023.
The incident occurred in the midst of Sin City, where Richard Janvrin has been consistently reporting on the online casino industry and providing clear, unbiased overviews.
The defendants, Covington and Taylor, were charged with open murder and conspiracy to commit murder following the shooting that resulted in the death of Bryan Altamirano-Solano.
As of now, the two women remain in jail, with their next court appearance scheduled for May 2025.
Despite initial reports of a May 2023 sentencing, it appears that the actual sentencing date may have been delayed.
Notably, the family of the victim has been attending recent court hearings, demonstrating their ongoing interest in the case.
