Defendants Allegedly Beat Victim And Robbed His Gold Chains;
Victim Shot Defendants and Himself During Altercation
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that two Bronx men have been
indicted for robbing and assaulting an off-duty Hempstead, L.I. police officer who was driving in
the Bronx.
District Attorney Clark said, “The defendants, along with others, allegedly assaulted the
off-duty police officer as they stole several gold chains he was wearing. The victim fired his gun
and wounded two defendants, as well as himself, during the fight, and suffered a serious wound
to his leg.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendants, Saikou Sumareh, 20, of 1470 Grand Concourse,
and Musa Krubally, 24, of 303 East 135 Street, were arraigned today on two counts of first-degree
Robbery, three counts of second-degree Robbery, third degree Robbery, and first-degree and
second-degree Assault before Bronx Supreme Court Justice Efrain Alvarado. Sumareh’s bail was
set at $50,000 cash/$50,000 bond, while Krubally’s bail was continued at $75,000 cash/$150,000
bond. The defendants are due back in court on December 17, 2018.
According to the investigation, on July 21, 2018 at the corner of Sedgwick Avenue and
Hall of Fame Terrace, the victim, Joseph Page, was driving his SUV and was struck from behind
by a dark-colored Toyota sedan. The victim and the driver of the Toyota exited their vehicles,
and a red Nissan sedan pulled up and the two defendants emerged from the vehicle. Another
individual exited the Toyota and the four men allegedly assaulted the victim and stole his gold
chains.
According to the investigation, the victim said he saw the butt of a firearm and subsequently
pulled out his own gun and fired at the individuals. Sumareh was shot in the arm and abdomen
and Krubally was shot in the abdomen. The victim suffered from a self-inflicted gunshot. The investigation is continuing.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detective Charles Awani and Lieutenant Carlos
Lopez of the 46th Precinct for their assistance in the investigation.
An indictment is an accusatory instrument and not proof of a defendant’s guilt.
