“Johnette Booker stands convicted of killing her younger, vulnerable cousin, through her vicious and cruel behavior,” said District Attorney Bragg. “For over a month, Booker knowingly put Jallen McConnie through an excruciating level of abuse and trauma, up until the final moments of his life. Booker will serve a significant prison term for this utterly horrific conduct and my thoughts remain with Mr. McConnie’s loved ones, who continue to grieve this devastating loss.”  

“Christian Millet allegedly committed a shocking and brutal murder, and my thoughts are with Mr. Echevarria’s loved ones,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I want to thank our prosecutors and the NYPD detectives who worked quickly and diligently to connect the facts and evidence in this case. I want New Yorkers to know that we have the deep expertise to bring even the most challenging cases.”

“As alleged, this was a brutal attack against a completely defenseless and helpless victim, and I hope he recovers quickly from his injuries,” said District Attorney Bragg.

“Michael Howell will now serve a prison sentence for his attacks on three New Yorkers with glass bottles,” said District Attorney Bragg. “These were scary, random assaults that occurred at a busy time of evening, and we will not tolerate these types of violent attacks on Manhattanites. I know many of the victims are still living with the trauma of the attacks and I hope this sentencing can provide them a measure of closure.”
