HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — The man who nearly killed a former Cabell County business owner during an attack at his restaurant in April 2018 will spend decades in prison.
On Tuesday, Aaron Rafael Ingram, 51, was sentenced to more than 50 years after entering guilty pleas to charges of strangulation, attempted murder and armed robbery in Cabell County Circuit Court as part of a plea agreement.
At the time of the attack, the victim, Sidney “Sid” Torlone was the owner of G.D. Ritzy’s, located on Huntington’s Hal Greer Boulevard.
Torlone was threatened with a knife, strangled with a cord and hit in the head multiple times with a large object, according to investigators.
A delivery person found him.
