Two men who shot and paralyzed a woman have been sentenced to 46 years in prison.

The Washoe County District Attorney's Office asked for the maximum sentence of 81 years.

Juan Sanchez-Ramirez will be eligible for parole after 16 years, while Juan Lopez-Leyva will be eligible for parole after 17 years.

Both men were also convicted of battery with a deadly weapon causing substantial bodily harm, and mayhem.

As we've reported -- the victim was shot and left paralyzed back in January.

In a letter, the victim said in part, "they took my life away and theirs should be taken away also. They paralyzed me. I cannot use my arms and legs. I cannot feel anything." 

UPDATE: JANUARY 24, 2024 

Two men convicted of several charges, including attempted murder are scheduled to be sentenced in April. 

The Washoe County District Attorney's Office says Juan Lopez-Leyva and Juan Sanchez-Ramirez were recently found guilty by a jury in connection with a  shooting that left a woman paralyzed in January 2021. 

The DA's office says the men went to the woman's Wedekind Road apartment and demanded that she open her door to let the duo get a wallet and phone an associate left behind during a fight, the night before. Authorities say the men held guns to the 34-year-old victim's head, but when she told them she didn't have the items, that's when Lopez-Leyva shot her.

Prosecutors say the shooting left the victim a quadriplegic and needing medical care 24/7.

Both men were also convicted of Battery with a Deadly Weapon Causing Substantial Bodily Harm, and Mayhem.

Sentencing is scheduled for April 25.
