“A jury has found Joseph Morros guilty of viciously and callously taking Tykeem Berry’s life in an intentional act of gun violence,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Instead of walking away, Joseph Morros robbed Mr. Berry’s family of a beloved father, son and friend. What is particularly heartbreaking about this incident is Mr. Berry’s young daughter witnessed his murder – a horrific trauma no child should ever have to endure. I thank the jury for their careful and thoughtful consideration of the evidence that led to this verdict.”

“Azsia Johnson was a loving parent who left an abusive relationship and began to rebuild her life. Her dreams of moving forward were brought to a horrific end when her ex, Isaac Argro, executed her in cold blood in front of their infant daughter,” said District Attorney Bragg. “While today’s prison sentence is a just resolution, there is nothing that can bring back Ms. Johnson. My thoughts today are with her family members, who have demonstrated their love for Ms. Johnson and their commitment to keeping her memory alive throughout the course of this prosecution.”

“Terrence Haynes has been held accountable and will serve a significant prison sentence for orchestrating the senseless killing of Timothy Parker,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Haynes enlisted and coordinated with his co-defendants to carry out this deadly plot, causing unimaginable pain and grief for Mr. Parker’s family and loved ones. While nothing can bring Mr. Parker back, I hope this sentence brings his family and loved ones a measure of justice as they continue to grieve their loss.”

“Camby Wilson transformed a neighborhood store into a scene of deadly violence when he murdered Shaquell Gainey in the very community where he grew up,” said District Attorney Bragg. “This deliberate act of gun violence has devastated Mr. Gainey’s family and friends, who continue to mourn his loss. Driving down gun violence remains my top priority, and I hope this significant prison sentence delivers a measure of justice and closure to Mr. Gainey’s loved ones.”

“Public safety is strongest when we pair accountability with prevention and investments in the communities where we all live. Throughout Gun Violence Awareness Month, we brought together law enforcement, elected officials and advocates to address gun violence from every angle – from investing in young people and supporting prevention initiatives to removing illegal firearms from our streets. This holistic approach is delivering promising results, contributing to significant reductions in shootings and homicides in Manhattan. While there is still more work to do, we remain committed to building on this progress to create a lasting impact for the safety and wellbeing of all New Yorkers,” said District Attorney Bragg.
