“After nearly two years, the defendant finally accepted responsibility for the senseless and heinous murder of his father, Richard Fluegel Sr. This sentence provides justice, ensures community safety, and allows the Fluegel family a time to heal. My office will continue to stand with victims and their families and will hold accountable those who commit the most serious acts of violence in Livingston County,” wrote Livingston County District Attorney Ashley Williams.

The criminal complaint says Fluegel Jr. intentionally shot his 60-year-old father two times with an illegally owned 12 gauge shotgun. Fluegel Jr. has prior felony convictions, so it’s illegal for him to own any type of gun.
