Dubuque Teen Sentenced To Probation For Shooting Incident

A Dubuque teen involved in a shooting in May 2019 was sentenced Monday to probation. 17 year old Emmanuel Fountain was given a suspended sentence for a charge of felony going armed with intent and a deferred judgment for a felony charge of intimidation with a dangerous weapon. Fountain pleaded guilty to both charges. He previously also had been charged with attempted murder, but the charge was dropped through a plea deal. Both charges come with a period of probation ranging from two to five years. According to police, Fountain, who was 16 at the time, and his brother, 17 year old Jamar Little, walked into an alleyway in May 2019 to confront a 15-year-old boy and proceeded to fire three gunshots at the teen, who escaped unharmed. Court documents say that Little was the one reported to have fired the gun.
