Millbury man gets 6 years for fatal East Toledo shooting
A Millbury, Ohio man entered a plea Monday to involuntary manslaughter for a fatal shooting in September in East Toledo and was sent to prison for at least six years. Cory O’Conner, 45, of the 100 block of Lakeland Drive, had been charged with murder in the death of Christopher Yglesias, who was shot Sept. 30 at Albert and White streets and died in December at a rehabilitation facility in Columbus. His Alford plea in Lucas County Common Pleas Court to the reduced charge of involuntary manslaughter is not an admission of guilt, but he conceded sufficient evidence existed that he risked a more severe punishment if he took his case to trial on the original charges. O’Conner had engaged in a standoff with police in a house in the 1400 block of Albert after the shooting.
