RICHMOND, Va. — A Hanover County man was sentenced to 10 years in prison Monday after a fight in Scott's Addition that left a Chesterfield County man dead.
Nico Rivera pleaded guilty last year to involuntary manslaughter for the death of 27-year-old Jacob Baldwin in October of 2024. The charge is a downgrade from the second-degree murder he was initially facing.

Man pleads guilty to killing another man in Scott's Addition fight
Prosecutors say Rivera threw a single punch at Baldwin in the early hours of October 12, 2024.
Baldwin was knocked to the ground, near the intersection of West Marshall and North Sheppard streets, causing a head injury that later proved fatal.
The two men didn't know each other before that night but were in groups that began partying together at a bar in Scott's Addition, prosecutors said.
They were seemingly getting along until an argument started between them, with Rivera being the primary aggressor, prosecutors said.
