“Keyshawn Kitchens aggressively attacked a volunteer at a local community center, leaving him with serious injuries and significant trauma,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I thank the jurors for their careful consideration of the evidence, and our prosecutors for their commitment to accountability in this case.”
“Keyshawn Kitchens was intent on vengeance, and his vicious attack caused this victim serious injuries,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Everyone deserves to feel safe walking our city’s streets. This should not have escalated into serious violence, and today’s conviction delivers accountability for this violent assault.”
“Rebecca Hillman’s negligence and shocking lack of regard for Ryan Wilson’s well-being led to his death. I hope this sentencing can help close what I know has been an incredibly traumatic time for Mr. Wilson’s family and loved ones,” said District Attorney Bragg.
“Francisco Villalva worked hard to support his family in Mexico and dreamed of buying a home. That dream was cut short when he was callously shot and murdered while doing his job,” said District Attorney Bragg. “While this sentence provides a strong measure of accountability, we can never undo this devastating tragedy, and I know his memory will continue to live on with his friends, family and community.”
“Our entire city continues to mourn the tragic losses of Mr. Ramirez and Mr. Umberger,” said District Attorney Bragg. “In addition to the pain their deaths have caused for their family and loved ones, I know that many other New Yorkers have feared for their own safety when going out to meet up with friends. I am grateful to our professional and dedicated team for their hard work, along with the detectives at the NYPD who were outstanding partners throughout this entire investigation. If other members of the public believe they have been the victims of similar incidents, I encourage them to call our help line at 212-335-9040.”
