Defendant Cut Off Oxygen Supply During Fight
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced that a Bronx man has been sentenced to two to four years in prison after pleading guilty to Criminally Negligent Homicide in the death of his 15-year-old stepson.
District Attorney Clark said, “During a fight, the defendant held his 15-year-old-stepson around the neck and in a leg hold until the boy passed out and died. It’s a tragedy that this child died at the hands of someone he should have been able to trust.”
District Attorney Clark said Tyresse Minter, 30, of Morris Avenue, was sentenced today to two to four years in prison after pleading guilty to Criminally Negligent Homicide before Bronx Supreme Court Justice Audrey Stone. The defendant pleaded guilty to the charge on January 13, 2025.
According to the investigation, on January 23, 2023, the defendant got into a dispute with his 15-year-old stepson, Corde Scott in their home on Doris Street in the Parkchester area. Minter put Corde in a neck hold to restrain him, causing his neck to be compressed and cutting off his oxygen supply. The defendant then wrapped his legs around the boy to secure him. The boy lost consciousness and died. The defendant called police 20 minutes later.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detective Robert Cintron of the Bronx Homicide Task Force, as well as Detectives Paula Aguero and Airam Cruz-Sheppard of the 45th Precinct Detective Squad for their assistance in the case.
