Jury Found Defendants Guilty of Second-Degree Murder
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that two Bronx men have been sentenced to prison for the 2017 fatal shooting of a man in the NYCHA Pelham Parkway Houses.
District Attorney Clark said, “The defendants, acting in concert with each other, chased the 41-year-old victim and fired shots at him multiple times, causing his death. The incident happened in the NYCHA Pelham Parkway Houses, terrorizing the residents. We will not tolerate gun violence that harms our community.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendants, Nydrique Jones, 30, and Kameke Jones, 33, both last of 2455 Williamsbridge Road, were sentenced on February 10, 2023 by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Laurence Busching. Kameke Jones was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison and Nydrique Jones was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. The defendants were found guilty of second-degree Murder on October 5, 2022, after a jury trial.
According to the investigation, on October 1, 2017 at approximately 10:52 p.m., in the vicinity of Waring Avenue and Williamsbridge Road, the defendants chased Gregory Washington, 41. As they chased the victim, Nydrique Jones shot at him four times, striking him once in the torso. The brothers then split up and returned to their building a block away from the shooting location. Washington died in surgery at Jacobi Hospital a few hours after the incident.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detective Michael Gersch of the 49th Precinct and NYPD Detective Chris Giannioudis of the Firearms Analysis Section for their work in the investigation.
