“As alleged, Clarkson Wilson murdered Imani Armstrong in cold blood after he waited hours outside her place of employment,” said D.A. Bragg. “My thoughts are with Ms. Armstrong’s family and loved ones, who are experiencing immense pain. We are committed to pursuing full accountability and justice in this case.”
“Bienvenido Liriano sought to flood our streets with dozens of dangerous weapons,” said District Attorney Bragg. “We will not allow our neighborhoods to continue to be ravaged by the proliferation of illegal guns and will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to identify and root out this activity.”
“It is incredibly lucky that no one was injured when Tyrell Livingston fired a gun nine times in a highly trafficked NYCHA courtyard,” said District Attorney Bragg.
D.A. Bragg announced the ten community-based organizations selected to receive $20,000 each from the Manhattan D.A.’s Office for initiatives to prevent youth gun violence: Urban Youth Alliance/BronxConnect; The Children’s Village; The Community Initiatives; Emergent Works; Exodus Transitional Community; Grand Street Settlement; Henry Street Settlement; SCAN-Harbor; Street Corner Resources; and Uptown Grand Central.
“As alleged, O.E.D. wreaked havoc on our streets,” said District Attorney Bragg. “This carefully structured criminal enterprise developed elaborate schemes to carry out robberies and violence, including tracking their victims before premeditated attacks. Today we have made New Yorkers safer by taking major violence drivers off the street, but we know we have much more work to do.”
