21-year-old Demonterious Jackson was given a 68 month prison term today for his conviction on a charge of aiding and abetting first-degree aggravated robbery. Rochester police say Jackson, along with 18-year-old Jerome Zachary and 22-year-old Trumane Gillmore, robbed 19-year-old Courtney Ocegueda on August 31st. About two hours later, Ocegueda allegedly opened fire at the Parkside Mobile Home Park, killing Gillmore and wounding Zachary and Jackson.
