THREE YOUTHS INDICTED FOR MURDER IN FATAL SHOOTING OF 16-YEAR-OLD CHRISTOPHER REDDING, WOUNDING OF TWO TEENS

 

Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced that three youths have been indicted for Murder, Manslaughter, Assault, and other related charges in the fatal shooting of a 16-yearold boy and wounding of two other teens on a Kingsbridge street. 

Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark said, “A promising boy was cut down by a bullet and another boy and a girl were wounded as they ran from gunfire near a busy intersection at 5 p.m. The defendants are 17 and 19 years old. This is another heartrending loss of our young people to death, trauma and prison. We must stem the flow of illegal guns.” 

Bronx District Attorney Clark said the defendants, Anthony Caballero, 19, his brother, Shawn Caballero, 17, and Zion Martinez, 19, all of the Bronx, have been indicted on seconddegree Murder, first-degree Manslaughter, two counts of Attempted Murder in the second degree, second-degree Criminal Possession of a Weapon, two counts of second-degree Assault, first-degree Reckless Endangerment and second-degree Reckless Endangerment. 

Anthony Caballero and Zion Martinez were arraigned today by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Pamela Goldsmith and remanded. Shawn Caballero was arraigned on March 9, 2026, by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Gayle Roberts and remanded. They are due back in court on June 18, 2026.

According to the investigation, on February 11, 2026, at approximately 5:10 p.m. at the intersection of Broadway and West 238th Street, the defendants acted in concert with each other, in that they discharged a firearm down West 238th Street, fatally striking Christopher Redding, 16 and striking a 13-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy as they and others were attempting to run away. Christopher Redding suffered a gunshot wound to the back and the surviving victims suffered gunshot wounds to their legs.

District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detective Christopher White of the 50th Precinct Detective Squad, NYPD Detective Jonathan Burke of Bronx Homicide Squad, and NYPD Detective Edward Barrett, Bronx Warrant Section, for their work in the investigation.

An indictment is an accusatory instrument and not proof of a defendant’s guilt.
