Defendant Killed Infant in Homeless Shelter, Left Her Near Major Deegan Expwy
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a man has been sentenced to seven years in prison for first-degree Manslaughter for violently shaking his three-month-old daughter to death and then disposing her body in a desolate area near Yankee Stadium.
District Attorney Clark said, “In a shocking display of cruelty, this defendant took the life of his 3-month-old daughter Genevieve and then showed a lack of humanity by leaving the infant’s body in a garbage ridden place. This sentence brings justice for an innocent life taken so soon.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Damion Comager, 26, was sentenced today by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Audrey Stone to seven years in prison and five years post release supervision for first-degree Manslaughter, and one and one third to four years for Concealment of a Human Corpse. Those sentences are to run concurrently. He pleaded guilty to the charges on August 15, 2025.
According to the investigation, sometime between May 10, 2023 and May 16, 2023, inside a homeless shelter at 1041 University Avenue in the Highbridge section where Comager was living with the infant and her mother, Ivana Paolozzi, Comager shook Genevieve forcefully because she would not stop crying, leading to her death. The infant was dressed and put in a stroller and wheeled out of the shelter. She was placed in bags and left on the side of the Major Deegan Expressway near the West 161st Street overpass.
Comager and Paolozzi were arrested in Manhattan on May 29, 2023 and Comager confessed to killing Genevieve and led detectives to her body. Charges against Paolozzi of Tampering with Physical Evidence, Concealment of a Human Corpse and second-degree Obstructing Governmental Administration are pending.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detectives Patrick Curran of the Bronx Homicide Squad and Ryan Brady of the 44th Precinct Detective Squad for their work on the case.
