“Jiniye Hooks chose to target two boys in a vicious act of violence that tragically took Mr. Streeter’s life too soon,” said District Attorney Bragg. “No family should have to grieve the loss of a child, and my thoughts are with Mr. Streeter’s family as they continue healing from his loss. Combatting gun violence remains a top priority for me, and my office will continue to hold people accountable when they commit these serious acts of violence.”

“This shooting occurred in the middle of a crowded Times Square teeming with New Yorkers and tourists. This defendant is charged with allegedly recklessly firing his weapon inside of a store – striking a tourist – and then turning the gun on a police officer who was courageously attempting to place him under arrest. We will continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners to ensure full accountability for gun violence,” said District Attorney Bragg. 

“Eric Nunez allegedly took the life of Antonio Felder in a fatal shooting in East Harlem,” said District Attorney Bragg. “While shootings are down approximately 23 percent in Manhattan so far this year, Antonio Felder was still one of 174 people shot in our borough – a devastating toll that illustrates why combatting gun violence remains my top priority. My thoughts are with his young son, friends and loved ones of Antonio Felder as they grieve his loss.”

“As alleged, Lenue Moore tracked down and fired multiple shots at Jacqueline Billini, Harvin Levaughn and a dog in a vicious act of cruelty after Ms. Billini appropriately reported Mr. Moore to law enforcement for previous alleged acts of violence,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Two beloved New Yorkers are dead, and my thoughts are with their utterly devastated family members in their ongoing grief. The presence of a gun makes any situation far more likely to turn lethal, and ridding our streets of illegal firearms and the violence they bring remains my top priority as district attorney.”
