A 25-year-old Janesville woman who’s behind two shootings and a hit-and run involving injury is finally headed to prison.
Back in 2018, Latoya Hill pleaded guilty to recklessly endangering safety for shooting at a man at the Janesville Holiday Inn Express after he tried to pay her for sex—but she tried to rob him instead. Hill was sentenced to probation in that case.
Hill was then charged with party to the crime of first degree recklessly endangering safety in November of 2020 in connection with a shooting in the town of Beloit that injured one person.
Around a year later, in November of 2021, while still on probation for the original shooting, and waiting for the second case to work it’s way through the court, Hill was charged with hit and run involving injury, operating a vehicle while under the influence causing injury, causing injury while operating with a prohibited alcohol content, resisting an officer, and two counts of bail jumping.
In June Hill pleaded guilty to operating while under the influence causing injury and the two counts of bail jumping.
The charge of first degree recklessly endangering safety from the shooting, and the other charges from the hit and run were dismissed but read into the record.
On Thursday Judge Karl Hanson sentenced Hill to a total of three years in prison to be served concurrent to the four years she was ordered to serve by Judge John Wood for violating her probation in the hotel shooting.
