“Eighteen individuals went to extreme lengths to exploit a grieving family by allegedly conspiring to sell the family’s brownstone without their permission and fraudulently obtain a mortgage for profit,” said District Attorney Bragg. “We will prosecute those looking to take advantage of homeowners for personal gain and do not stop investigating until we know the full scope of fraud.

Statement from D.A. Bragg on the Murder Conviction of Isaac Argro
Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg, Jr., said: “Over multiple weeks, a jury heard the overwhelming evidence of Isaac Argro’s horrific crime, and today found him guilty of murder within two hours of deliberations. Argro subjected Azsia Johnson, the mother of his daughter, to extensive physical and emotional abuse before she finally had the immense bravery to leave him in order to protect herself and her children. She was a loving mother who was determined to give coparenting a try, despite Argro’s ongoing campaign of harassment. The second time she allowed Argro to meet their daughter, he lured her to an isolated location with promises of supplies for their 3-month-old infant and shot her point-blank in the temple. This brutal execution devastated all of Ms. Johnson’s loved ones, including her devoted family members who attended the trial each day. I hope this conviction gives them some sense of justice.”
