“As alleged, Angel Sardina and Rafael Macias coordinated a vicious and deadly shooting, which seriously injured one victim and tragically ended Fermin Brito’s life,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Our city’s parks should be safe spaces for all Manhattanites, and we will hold those accountable who endanger them with gun violence and illegal conduct. My thoughts are with Mr. Brito’s family as they continue grieving his loss and I wish the other victim a speedy recovery.”  

“As alleged, Mohamed Sawaneh committed a deadly, broad daylight shooting and committed multiple additional, serious crimes in the span of minutes,” said District Attorney Bragg. “This alleged, vicious conduct put several people at risk of being harmed and tragically took the life of Jeremy Cummings, a friendly sports lover. My thoughts are with Mr. Cummings’ family and loved ones during this difficult time.”  

“As alleged, Joshua Dorsett shot two NYPD officers while fleeing from the scene of the armed robbery where he targeted a group of people playing mahjong. Every day, the brave members of the NYPD risk their lives to protect New Yorkers and Joshua Dorsett’s alleged actions could have killed these responding officers,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I thank the NYPD for their constant partnership as we work together to keep Manhattan safe. I hope Sergeants Carl Johnson and Christopher Leap continue to heal from this horrific attack.” 

“As alleged, Chad Irish cut the life of Yazmeen Williams short in this unspeakable tragedy, compounding the crime by so callously disposing of her body. Ms. Williams had her whole life ahead of her and was looking forward to starting a new chapter with a job at the New York City Housing and Preservation and Development that week,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I send my deepest condolences to her loved ones as they continue to mourn her loss.” 

“Tomas Dunn has been held accountable for killing Saladeen Cochrane, a warm and loving person, in a heinous and senseless act of gun violence on a Manhattan sidewalk,” said District Attorney Bragg. “To Mr. Cochrane’s loved ones, he represented a beloved family man, including a caring husband and father, and my thoughts remain with his heartbroken family as they continue to mourn their devastating loss. I hope the sentence imposed today can bring them a sense of peace and justice.”
