“Zykil Adamson has been sentenced to 17 years in state prison for shooting a 26-year-old man in the head after an argument,” said District Attorney Bragg. “My thoughts are with the victim who will be paralyzed for the rest of his life due to this near-fatal shooting. Combatting gun violence is our top priority, and those who use guns to endanger the lives of others will be held accountable.”

“Jonathan Morales murdered Eliahs Brazoban in a brutal, premeditated attack on a Manhattan sidewalk,” said District Attorney Bragg. “It is particularly heartbreaking when our young people are victims of gun violence. Mr. Brazoban was a beloved son, brother, and friend whose bright future was tragically cut short. Behind every homicide is a person whose life mattered, and today’s guilty plea ensures accountability for this horrific shooting.”
