Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a Bronx man was sentenced to seven years in prison for Attempted Murder in the second-degree for firing shots on a crowded street, striking a 2-year-old boy in the back as he walked with his mother.
District Attorney Clark said, “This was cold-blooded gun violence that harmed a toddler the day before his third birthday and caused fear and shock to shoppers and pedestrians on busy Fordham Road on a Saturday afternoon. The defendant has been held accountable and now will spend years in prison.”
District Attorney Clark said Freddy Flores, 20, of Walton Avenue, was sentenced today to seven years in prison and five years post-release supervision for Attempted Murder in the seconddegree by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Timothy Lewis. He pleaded guilty to that charge on September 17, 2025.
