“These groups have allegedly committed fatal and horrific gun violence in Inwood and Washington Heights over the past six years,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I want to be very clear: if you traffic illegal firearms into Manhattan, or use guns to commit violence against fellow Manhattanites, you will be held accountable. We will not accept this type of conduct, which tears at the fabric of our communities. I will continue to work in close coordination with all of our law enforcement partners to address the continued scourge of gun violence and ensure everyone in the borough can live in the safe neighborhood that they deserve.”

“The night of October 10, 2020, ended in tragedy for Joseph Bernard Nunez-Perez and his loved ones. While we have made strides in driving down shootings and homicides, there are far too many families who continue to face the devastating impact of gun violence. I am thankful to our team of prosecutors who worked to achieve a strong measure of accountability in this matter, sending a clear message that gun violence will never be tolerated in Manhattan,” said District Attorney Bragg.

“Trevor Gibbs now stands convicted by a jury of his peers for viciously shooting and killing Hector Delgado, a fellow Manhattanite,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Gibbs coordinated this violent, deadly act of gun violence with the assistance of his associates as an act of retribution. My Office will continue to hold those accountable who jeopardize the safety of our communities with illegal firearms, and I thank the jury for their dedication and service.” 

“As alleged, Marc Haygood and Jayquan Straker planned a violent murder as they followed Mr. Osorio-Mejia into Manhattan, stealing jewelry off his body after fatally shooting him. Mr. Osorio-Mejia was a well-known sneaker seller, entrepreneur, and father whose life was cut short in this senseless tragedy,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I send my deepest condolences to Mr. Osorio-Mejia’s family and friends as they mourn his loss.”
