Defendant Convicted by Jury of Weapon Possession
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced today that Bronx man has been sentenced to 12 yearsin prison and five years post release supervision for second-degree Criminal Possession of a Weapon for firing a gun at a man on a Fordham Heights street.
District Attorney Clark said, “The defendant chased a man and fired two shots at him as he ran for his life on Walton Avenue. Fortunately, no one was injured even though the defendant fired the gun at 11 o’clock in the morning. He was sentenced as a predicate felony offender.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Kenny Urbaez, 38, of 2195 Grand Concourse, the Bronx, was sentenced to 12 years in prison and five years post release supervision for seconddegree Criminal Possession of a Weapon by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Joseph McCormack. He was found guilty of the top charge against him after a jury trial on February 26, 2025, and was sentenced as a predicate felony offender. New York State imposes stricter sentencing rules on individuals who have a prior felony conviction within 10 years of committing a new felony.
On May 25, 2018, at approximately 11:00 a.m., the defendant, acting in concert with at least two unapprehended men, waited for the target outside his building on Walton Avenue in Fordham Heights and then chased the man, firing two shots from a 9mm semi-automatic pistol at him. The defendant was arrested shortly after.
District Attorney Clark thanked Trial Preparation Assistant Ivan Reyes of the Public Integrity Bureau for his assistance with the case.
