Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced that a Bronx man has been sentenced to 17 years to life in prison for second-degree Criminal Possession of a Weapon for having a submachine gun, scope, extended magazines and 50 rounds of ammunition.
District Attorney Clark said, “This defendant was convicted of possessing a firearm suitable for combat. A serious threat to the public is now behind bars.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Jamain Rattary, 40, of 2700 Grand Concourse, the Bronx, was sentenced to 17 years to life in prison by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Rosenbleuth on March 24, 2026. The defendant was found guilty by a jury of second-degree Criminal Possession of a Weapon on January 7, 2026.
According to the facts introduced at trial, on July 31, 2022, Rattary was arrested inside his apartment at 2700 Grand Concourse by NYPD patrol officers from the 52nd Precinct responding to a 911 call. They found a Kriss Vector Semi-Automatic Rifle equipped with a scope, two magazines and fifty rounds of .45-caliber ammunition in a hallway closet. The defendant represented himself for the majority of the trial. He was subject to a life sentence based on his persistent violent felony offender status.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Police Officers Evan Jeselson and Crystal Dones of the 46th Precinct, formerly assigned to the 52nd Precinct, Police Officer Jerry Klepadlo, formerly assigned to the Evidence Collection Team and NYPD Detectives Judah Stavrakoglou of the NYPD Lab Firearms Analysis Section and Anthony Taccetta of the 52nd Precinct for their work on the case.
