Legal proceedings followed, and in 2022, Bernard pleaded guilty to first-degree murder. She is scheduled for sentencing in October. Rainge, now 21, stood trial and was found guilty of second-degree murder and possession of a firearm as a delinquent in September 2023. He faces a potential life sentence. State Attorney R.J. Larizza commented on the case, stating, "An 18-year-old is dead and the shooter, now 21, will likely spend the rest of his life in prison. This is the reality and consequence of Young Guns violence."
