A Rockville man was sentenced to 45 years in prison, with 490 years suspended, for his role in a March 2023 shootout.
According to the Maryland State’s Attorney’s Office, “In the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, MD, the Honorable Marielsa Bernard sentenced defendant, Zachary Ciccantelli, 25, of Rockville, to 490 years in prison suspend all but 45 years to serve and five years of supervised probation upon release. Judge Bernard recommended that Ciccantelli be admitted to the Patuxent Youthful Offenders Program while incarcerated.
Ciccantelli and co-defendant, Callen Baker, were convicted on charges related to a hail of gunfire in the 700 block of Monroe Street in Rockville on March 1, 2023. Ciccantelli fired the gunshots. Baker provided Ciccantelli with the handgun and drove the getaway vehicle. There was a school bus dropping off children at the time which captured the sounds of gunfire and the getaway car fleeing on its surveillance video.
Assistant State’s Attorneys Teresa Casafranca and Kimberly Cissel prosecuted this case. The State would like to thank Rockville City Police who led the investigation and Montgomery County Police Department for their assistance.”
