Mr. Lacombe was involved in a shooting incident at Harbor Club Apartments that occurred on December 26, 2012. On January 28, 2012, Mr. Lacombe was arrested on an outstanding warrant. On September 17, 2013, Mr. Lacombe appeared before the Honorable M. Jane Brady for sentencing. On the charge of Murder 2nd Degree, Mr. Lacombe was sentenced to natural life in prison.
The judgments of the Superior Court were affirmed.
