PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Jimmy Seth, 21, of Cranston, pleaded guilty Wednesday to assault with a dangerous weapon and discharging a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence resulting in injury.

Seth was sentenced to 18 years to serve followed by 20 years suspended non-parolable.

On June 19, 2016, at approximately 4:00 p.m., Seth was a passenger in a vehicle traveling down Health Avenue in Providence when he fired a .40 caliber pistol one time out of the car window.

One woman was struck in the shoulder, and the bullet exited her body and struck a second woman in the wrist.
