Hebron man gets life plus 40 years in murder of estranged wife in Somerset County
A Hebron man was sentenced to life plus 40 years in prison for the murder of his estranged wife and the attempted murder of another man in October 2020 in Somerset County.
James Robellard was convicted in July this year by a Somerset County jury of the first degree murder of LaGina Robellard, attempted first degree murder of Corey Glover Sr. and other related charges.
Judge Daniel Powell sentenced Robellard on Oct. 18, the Somerset County State's Attorney's office said in a release.
On Oct. 17, 2020, Maryland State Police were dispatched to an address on Cornstack Road in Marion Station for a report of multiple gunshot victims. When they arrived, they discovered three people with gunshot wounds, according to the release.
LaGina Robellard died as a result of her gunshot wounds just inside the front entrance to the residence. Investigation revealed James Robellard had traveled from his home in Hebron that evening, shot his estranged wife eight times, reloaded a separate magazine in his gun and shot multiple times at Corey Glover, striking him twice, the state's attorney's office said.
After being shot once in the leg, Glover shot James Robellard in his abdomen with a shotgun before Glover was shot again by Robellard in the shoulder area. Glover retreated to his bathroom and locked himself inside until police and EMS arrived.
When police arrived, James Robellard was found lying on a couch inside the residence holding a pillow over his shotgun wound, and his handgun was found close to him.
