“Eduardo Diaz has been held accountable for committing a vicious shooting against his former boss which recklessly spilled onto a public city street,” said District Attorney Bragg. “This attack significantly injured the victim who is still recovering to this day. Combatting gun violence is our top priority, and we will not tolerate the use of firearms to harm fellow New Yorkers.”
“This indictment alleges a coordinated pattern of violence spanning several months, during which the defendants repeatedly armed themselves and targeted rivals in residential areas, putting countless New Yorkers at risk,” and said District Attorney Bragg. “As we further allege, the defendants used social media to provoke rivals, glorify gun violence and escalate tensions, fueling a dangerous cycle of retaliation. We are committed to disrupting these senseless cycles to protect our communities, and thanks to our coordination with the NYPD and other law enforcement partners, these individuals are now facing accountability.”
“Ousmane Ag’s life tragically ended in the foyer of the home he shared with the very man who murdered him. While Marquius Chappelle was on the run after his irreversible and fatal conduct, Mr. Ag’s loved ones were grieving his devastating loss,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Despite his attempts to escape accountability, he will now serve significant time in prison.”
“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.”
