“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.”

“As alleged, Darlin Martinez used a gun to shoot three people, killing Christopher Allen and injuring two others. My Office is actively working to keep New Yorkers safe through both prosecutions of drivers of violence and meaningful investments in our communities,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I thank the NYPD for apprehending Darlin Martinez after this four-year search. My thoughts are with Mr. Allen’s four children and loved ones as they continue to mourn his loss.”
