“Jose Rodriguez allegedly fired shots towards his ex-girlfriend and her nephew, tragically taking Mr. Alvarez’s life – a young dad-to-be who was awaiting the birth of his child this month,” said District Attorney Bragg. “My sincerest condolences go out to the victim and the rest of Mr. Alvarez’s family and loved ones as they navigate this difficult time. Our dedicated prosecutors are working hard to pursue full accountability in this case.”   

“As alleged, Waldemar Alverio shot two people in Tompkins Square Park last month and put numerous lives in danger. Our parks should be a place where New Yorkers and tourists can relax without fearing for their safety,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Combatting gun violence remains my top priority and my Office will hold those who commit these serious acts of violence accountable. I hope the victims continue to heal from their wounds.” 

“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.”
