Description
Jalen Harvey, the man convicted of killing Joseph Vindel while he was attempting to sell a dirt bike over social media in 2021, was sentenced to life in prison on Thursday.
Harvey was convicted to life without parole after being found guilty of first-degree murder in Vindel’s death.
The case made headlines as Joseph Vindel's body was found shot to death inside of his own vehicle on Coliseum Street in the Garden District of New Orleans in March 2021.
Vindel’s mother and father spoke in court before the sentencing, saying that he was, “a rocket getting ready to take off that (Harvey) shot down.”
