Jonathan Camacho-Monge

MAYVILLE — A guilty plea entered this week in Chautauqua County Court has brought to an end a nearly two-year-long Jamestown homicide case.

Jamestown resident Jonathan Camacho-Monge is facing up to two decades in prison when he’s scheduled to be sentenced in November.

On Tuesday, the 24-year-old pleaded guilty to a charge of first-degree manslaughter for his role in the Oct. 19, 2021, death of Angel Pacheco, who was shot outside his Water Street home in Jamestown.

Camacho-Monge previously pleaded not guilty to a second-degree murder charge when arraigned in October 2022 before County Court Judge David Foley. He has remained jailed in Mayville after bail was set at $250,000 cash, $500,000 property bond.

The case was scheduled to go to trial shortly in county court.

Jamestown officers had been summoned to Pacheco’s home for a reported gunshot victim. Pacheco, 46, was taken by ambulance to UPMC Chautauqua where he later died of his injuries.

A woman who lives near the scene told The Post-Journal at the time, “We heard a boom, and before you know it we seen lights going by the house. Someone came by and heard on the scanner it was a gunshot.”

The case had been delayed early on for about six months because Camacho-Monge was being held in Pennsylvania on a felony-level charge.

In October 2019, Camacho-Monge was charged following a hit-and-run investigation after a parked vehicle was struck in the area of Sixth and North Main streets. A child that was in the vehicle that was struck was checked by EMS personnel.

In December 2021, Camacho-Monge was charged after police investigated reports of vehicles driving in the city of Jamestown bearing fictitious temporary Texas license plates.

In New York state, first-degree manslaughter is a class B felony; a conviction carries up to 25 years in prison.
