D.A. Bragg Announces Indictment Of Man For Fatal Shooting In East Harlem
“Eric Nunez allegedly took the life of Antonio Felder in a fatal shooting in East Harlem,” said District Attorney Bragg. “While shootings are down approximately 23 percent in Manhattan so far this year, Antonio Felder was still one of 174 people shot in our borough – a devastating toll that illustrates why combatting gun violence remains my top priority. My thoughts are with his young son, friends and loved ones of Antonio Felder as they grieve his loss.”
D.A. Bragg Announces Guilty Plea of Eleazer Edelstein For Manufacturing Ghost Guns and Making Threats Against Former Girlfriend
“Today Eleazer Edelstein was held accountable for manufacturing ghost guns in his Washington Heights apartment, threatening the safety of New Yorkers in addition to directly threatening the life of his former girlfriend. Ghost guns are a dangerous loophole in our laws, making it possible for people to create deadly firearms from the comfort of their homes,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Today’s guilty plea further indicates the need for the New York legislature to make the manufacturing of 3D-printed guns and gun parts illegal.”

“A man who went into Bellevue Hospital was allegedly assaulted and left on the street. Furthermore, some of the defendants allegedly attempted to deny and conceal the use of force to evade accountability,” said District Attorney Bragg. “All New Yorkers must be treated with dignity and respect regardless of their needs, especially by the people who are supposed to protect and keep them safe.”
D.A. Bragg Announces Sentencing of Jeffrey Harris For Recklessly Killing His Wife, Tammy Harris
“Jeffrey Harris betrayed his duty as a physician and as a husband by ignoring all medical evidence and advice and experimenting on his wife, leading to her slow and painful death,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Dr. Harris prevented his wife, Tammy, from being treated for lupus, and instead filled her with unnecessary prescription medications and herbal supplements that exacerbated her symptoms and left her in excruciating pain. He moved from one diagnosis to the next, finally falsifying mercury poisoning and giving her such high doses of selenium that he eventually killed her with his reckless treatment. My heart goes out to her loved ones, and in particular her children, who were pulled into Dr. Harris’s machinations. I hope they have some sense of resolution as this final chapter closes.”
