A 21-year-old man was indicted in the death a man in a drive-by shooting, crash and gunpoint robbery in Harlem in July, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., announced Tuesday.
“As alleged, Mohamed Sawaneh committed a deadly, broad daylight shooting and committed multiple additional, serious crimes in the span of minutes,” District Attorney Bragg said. “This alleged, vicious conduct put several people at risk of being harmed and tragically took the life of Jeremy Cummings, a friendly sports lover. My thoughts are with Mr. Cummings’ family and loved ones during this difficult time.”
“Today, Tyrese Haspil is facing accountability for brutally murdering and decapitating Fahim Saleh, a kind, generous, and empathetic person who positively impacted the world. Even after the defendant stole from him to fund a lavish lifestyle, Mr. Saleh still gave him a second chance,” said District Attorney Bragg. “While today’s sentence won’t bring Mr. Saleh back, I hope it provides his family a sense of closure as they continue to mourn his painful loss.”
A heartless killer who beheaded his mentor after stealing nearly $400,000 from him to impress his French lover told a Manhattan judge that he should spend the rest of his life behind bars.
“Even after the defendant stole from him to fund a lavish lifestyle, Mr. Saleh still gave him a second chance,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement, describing the victim as “a kind, generous and empathetic person who positively impacted the world.”
