Carlos Taffanelly, 47, of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, died from multiple gunshot wounds on October 5, 2020, in Wilkes-Barre. The shooting occurred on North Street near North River Street after a domestic dispute involving his daughter Jamielyn Giraldo and Dazon Wykie Turner. Carlos and his wife Liliana Giraldo had arrived to pick up Jamielyn; Turner alleged Carlos threatened him with a pipe and followed Carlos to North Street. Turner then retrieved a loaded 9mm handgun from his Jeep and fired multiple shots. Carlos sustained seven gunshot wounds, including two to his back; Liliana and Jamielyn Giraldo each suffered a single gunshot wound.
Dazon Wykie Turner, 24, was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and two counts of aggravated assault for Carlos Taffanelly’s death and the injuries to Liliana and Jamielyn Giraldo. Turner said he acted in self-defense; a jury found him guilty and he was sentenced to 20 to 40 years in state prison, a sentence later upheld on appeal.
Does anyone have information about the moments leading up to the shooting or witnessed the incident on North Street that day?
