A 20-year-old South Bend man has pleaded guilty in connection with a shooting near Laurel Woods in August 2025.

Tommy Gatheright pleaded guilty Thursday to a Level 3 felony count of aiding, inducing or causing aggravated battery. He also admitted to a firearm sentencing enhancement as part of the plea agreement.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Nov. 18. The judge may accept or reject the agreement at that hearing.

A Level 3 felony carries a sentence of three to 16 years in prison, with an advisory term of nine years. The firearm enhancement could add another five to 20 years.
