Jaahad Ingram, 23 and Zaire Wallace, 30, were sentenced in Union County Superior Court and must serve 85 percent of their sentence before being eligible for parole, Union County Prosecutor William Daniel and Plainfield Police Director James Abney said.

The pair were found guilty in October for the shooting, which killed Jennifer Vorn, a 24-year-old King of Prussia, PA resident and left another victim permanently paralyzed, authorities said. 

Ingram and Wallace followed the two victims before getting out of their black Buick SUV at Rock Avenue and West Front Street with handguns, firing 16 rounds into the victim's vehicle, authorities said. They were apprehended later that evening, authorities said.

Ingram and Wallace were also convicted of attempted murder in the first degree, and multiple weapons offenses, authorities said.
