“Nisean Graves senselessly killed Antonio Eggleston, a complete a stranger, on a busy public street,” said District Attorney Bragg. “His extremely vicious conduct left a family in mourning, and I hope that this significant prison sentence can give them some sense of justice. Our Office takes unprovoked acts of violence very seriously as we work hand in hand with our law enforcement partners to ensure accountability in these cases.”

“Cirus Cid-Mejia brutally stabbed a building maintenance employee who was assisting social workers in a court ordered wellness check on a 61-year-old tenant,” said District Attorney Bragg. “These workers were only trying to do their jobs and assist in the protection of a vulnerable New Yorker. We will not stand by when hardworking Manhattanites are attacked. I hope the victim continues to heal from the assault.” 

“As alleged, this father-son duo murdered David Brown in his own home,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Disturbingly, Mr. Brown’s girlfriend – the mother of one of the accused – allegedly helped by tampering with evidence and hindering the prosecution of this case. We will seek full accountability for this terrible act of gun violence.”

“As alleged, Luis Ortega maliciously robbed and assaulted the 66-year-old owner of a funeral home in a coordinated and brazen attack. The victim in this case provides vital support for people who are often facing immense tragedies, and I hope he can continue to recover from his injuries,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I encourage any members of the public who have additional information about this incident to call 212-690-6315.”
