A Charlottesville man who pled guilty in May to the homicide of Danny O’Brien Hall had his sentencing hearing on Tuesday in Charlottesville Circuit Court.
Reginald Lindsay Jr., of Gordonsville, will serve 10 years in prison for an indictment of voluntary manslaughter. None of the time sentenced was suspended by Judge Richard E. Moore.
Lindsay pled guilty to manslaughter on May 21. He initially faced charges of second-degree murder. The charges were ultimately reduced due to a lack of cooperation from individuals with knowledge of the incident.
The homicide took place at approximately 3 a.m. in the 200 block of East Market Street on Oct. 14.
Hall was 48 years old. He died from gunshot wounds after being transported to the University of Virginia Medical Center.
Lindsay’s sentencing was one of six homicides committed in the City of Charlottesville in 2023 and the final sentencing event related to the incidents.
“The sentencings are a painful reminder of the life altering consequences for those who choose to commit an act of violence with a firearm and the victims that they leave behind,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney Joe Platania. “As Danny’s wife said during her victim impact testimony, ‘I hate that we are killing each other.’”
