Noah Ney, a 16-year-old teenager, has been recently sentenced to more than 50 years. KTUL states that around ten charges have been imposed on him including firearm and drug possession and shooting with intent to kill. The charges stemmed from a shooting incident in April last year where he fired a shot at a 5-year-old girl.

Ney was arrested after the incident and in August 2023, he escaped from a Tulsa juvenile detention center. News On 6 stated that he was arrested three days after his escape. He was again sentenced to a year for his escape from the juvenile detention facility, as per Fox 23 News.

The legal documents stated that Ney was sentenced based on the evidence and witnesses who revealed a lot of details about his past behavior. KTUL reported that Ney is eligible for a judicial review hearing in five years which could reduce his sentencing.


Noah Ney shot a 5-year-old girl last year and escaped from the detention facility

DailyMail stated that Noah Ney was arrested in April 2022 after he shot a 5-year-old girl. The incident happened when the girl was at her residence in North Rockford Avenue and Ney fired a shot at the girl, injuring her in the neck and shoulder. He reportedly shot the girl so that he can join the Hoover Crips gang.

Metro reported that the girl was taken to the hospital and attorney Morgan Medders revealed that "a difference of an inch or two" could have led to her death. The outlet also stated that Ney had a criminal record since the time he was in middle school.

Ney was sentenced in 2022 for his involvement in the incident but he escaped from a Tulsa juvenile correctional facility in August this year. Ney was helped by another inmate named Ja'Koby Golston and a public safety alert was also released by the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office, as per KJRH Digital.

Ney was arrested outside a convenience store in three days and Sergeant Scott Streeter recalled the arrest by saying:

"We came around the corner between us and Tulsa Police Department, got him surrounded, and were able to take him in. I think he thought about running, he turned around but everyone was all sides of him so he laid down on the ground and gave up."
