3 sentenced to prison in murder of woman, wounding of sister

PITTSBURGH — Three men have been sentenced to prison in the murder of an eastern Pennsylvania mother more than a year and a half ago.

The (Scranton) Times-Tribune reports that the defendants, now 18 and 19, were all juveniles at the time of the June 2020 slaying of 21-year-old Rosemarie Mistler in Scranton.

Police said Mistler was shot in the head as she sat on the front porch.

Her sister was shot in the ribs.

Investigators said a group of juveniles had gone to the home to confront another youth and gunfire erupted when the teen emerged from the home.

All three defendants apologized for their actions.
