“Camby Wilson callously fired numerous shots at Shaquell Gainey – a Harlemite simply going about his day – with the intent to kill,” said District Attorney Bragg. “This vicious and senseless act of violence tragically took Mr. Gainey’s young life and has caused immeasurable pain for his family. I am deeply grateful to the jurors for their thoughtful deliberation, and to our prosecutors for their relentless pursuit of justice that has held this defendant accountable.”

“Imani Armstrong was leaving her job one morning, not knowing that her life would be cut short by an ex-partner with a gun. Clarkson Wilson is facing significant prison time for his calculated, callous, and deadly conduct,” said District Attorney Bragg. “While this sentencing will not bring Ms. Armstrong back, I hope that it can serve as a measure of closure for her loved ones who continue to mourn her loss.”

“As alleged, these defendants conspired to arm themselves and unleash brazen violence across Harlem, including committing numerous shootings,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Nearly all of the shootings were committed in or around NYCHA developments, putting countless lives at risk, including residents and bystanders. This kind of reckless and senseless violence has no place in our communities and those who engage in it will be brought to justice by our partners at the NYPD and our office’s prosecutors.”

“As alleged, Frederick Green fired two shots outside of a restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, nearly turning a physical altercation into a fatal one,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Gun violence has no place in Manhattan. My thoughts are with the victim who continues to heal from this near-fatal shooting.”

“As alleged, the defendants worked together to brazenly and indiscriminately commit a wide range of violence, including several shootings, a homicide and a vicious slashing, that harmed both rivals and innocent bystanders in Manhattan,” said District Attorney Bragg. “This violence was needless and resulted in the death of a young man who should be alive today. The defendants allegedly engaged in criminal conduct for months across the Harlem and Upper Manhattan communities. Combatting gun violence remains my top priority. We are committed to a holistic approach and productive solutions that have meaningful impacts on public safety. My thoughts remain with Mr. Clements’ family and loved ones for their devastating loss.”
