Defendant Wounded Two Men After Dispute
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a man has been sentenced to nine years in prison for assault and weapon charges for firing a shot in a crowded afterhours club that wounded two men.
District Attorney Clark said, “After a dispute, the defendant fired a semi-automatic pistol inside an afterhours club full of people. Two men were wounded. The defendant has been held accountable for his intentional and reckless actions.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Manuel Nunez, 31, of the Bronx was sentenced on February 9, 2026, by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Timothy Lewis to nine years in prison and five years post release supervision. He was found guilty by a jury of Attempted Assault in the First Degree, third-degree Assault and second-degree Criminal Possession of a Weapon on December 12, 2025.
According to the facts at trial, on August 20, 2023, at approximately 6:48 a.m., inside of 80 West 169 St., the defendant engaged in a dispute with a man, then shot him at close range while his back was turned. The bullet entered the victim’s rear end and exited his right thigh and then grazed the left knee of a security guard working inside the illicit establishment.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detectives Edgar Pino and Corey Simpson of the 44 Detective Squad for their work on the investigation.
