Rockland County District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh II announced that Anderson Alvarado-Jimenez, 21, of Spring Valley, has been sentenced to 10 years in state prison for Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree.

The sentence was imposed on February 4, 2026, by Judge Kevin F. Russo, and includes four years of post-release supervision as well as a permanent order of protection.

According to the District Attorney’s Office, the charges stem from a July 19, 2025 incident on East Eckerson Road in the Village of Spring Valley. Following a dispute with a co-worker over a shared work vehicle, Alvarado-Jimenez fired two shots from a revolver into the parked, unoccupied vehicle. He later returned with an AR-15-style rifle and fired additional rounds into the same vehicle, with at least two bullets traveling through the vehicle and into nearby occupied apartments.

Authorities said Alvarado-Jimenez fled the scene and disposed of both firearms in a body of water at Bowline Point Park in Haverstraw. He was apprehended approximately two days later by Spring Valley Police.

On November 5, 2025, Alvarado-Jimenez pleaded guilty to the felony charge in full satisfaction of the indictment.

“This sentence reflects the seriousness of this conduct and sends a clear message that gun violence will not be tolerated in our community,” District Attorney Walsh said.

The investigation was led by the Spring Valley Police Department, with assistance from the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office and the New York State Police Underwater Recovery Team.
