NEW CITY – A 38-year-old Stony Point man will be spending the next 17 years in state prison following his sentencing for manslaughter.
Robert Rodriguez previously pled guilty in the death of Ronald Mann, who he shot and killed in the area of 417 Call Hollow Road in Stony Point.
Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Walsh II said after the murder, Russo drove the victim’s body to the ramp off exit 16 of the Palisades Interstate Parkway and set the vehicle on fire with the body inside.
The vehicle was discovered in flames by a passerby shortly afterwards in the early morning hours of February 16, 2021.
“For three years, investigators pursued every lead with determination and precision, and today, that persistence has delivered accountability,” said Walsh. “This defendant’s actions were calculated and callous, but the tireless work of law enforcement ensured the truth was uncovered.”
