One Victim Seriously Wounded by Bullet; Other Injured by Shattered Glass When Defendant Fired Nine Shots
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced today that a Bronx man was sentenced to seven years in prison for a shooting that sent a stray bullet into an MTA bus, injuring two women passengers.
District Attorney Clark said, “This defendant fired multiple shots from a handgun on a busy street in the middle of the day. One of those bullets shattered the window of a passing bus and seriously wounded a passenger in the shoulder. Today, the defendant is held accountable for his callous actions. Hopefully, this sentencing will bring some comfort to the victims.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Anibal Colon, 47, was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison and five years post-release supervision by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Timothy Lewis. Colon pled guilty to one count of Attempted Assault in the First Degree on July 30, 2025.
According to the investigation, at 3:20 p.m. on July 1, 2023, the defendant fired nine shots from a 9 mm semi-automatic weapon at an individual in the vicinity of Union Avenue and East 156th Street. The bullets missed the intended target. However, one round went through the window of an MTA bus. A female passenger was hit in her left shoulder and suffered life-altering injury. Another woman sustained minor injuries from shattered glass. Colon was arrested on September 13, 2023.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detective Ivan Luciano and his colleagues of the 40th Precinct Detective Squad for their work in the investigation.
