According to the DA, on May 14, 2025, Guadarrama was convicted by a jury of second-degree attempted murder and second-degree assault for the incident that occurred at the library.

On Monday, Guadarrama appeared before Judge David W. Foley for sentencing on the convictions. In addition to his sentence for the incident at the library, he was also sentenced to seven years in state prison for the incident at the Chautauqua County Jail.

The DA said he was also on a term of probation at the time of his arrest for those incidents, and the Chautauqua County Department of Probation filed a violation of probation for failing to comply with his terms.
