Defendant Pleaded Guilty to Attempted Murder; Bullets Remain Lodged in Victim’s Body
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced that a Bronx man was sentenced to 15 years in prison for Attempted Murder second-degree for shooting his ex-girlfriend multiple times on a Bronx street.
District Attorney Clark said, “This defendant approached his ex-girlfriend outside her building and pulled out a firearm and shot her in the back as she fled. He then shot her in the face as she lay on the ground. I hope this sentence will give the victim some peace as she continues to move forward with her life after surviving this vicious crime.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Charles Murray, 41, of Hamden Place, the Bronx, was sentenced on April 30, 2026 to 15 years in prison and five years post-release supervision by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Audrey Stone. Murray pleaded guilty to Attempted Murder seconddegree on March 20, 2026.
According to the investigation, at approximately 3:54 p.m. on February 6, 2024, the defendant approached his former girlfriend, Laura Vega in front of her apartment building. He questioned her about another man, then took a gun from his coat pocket, and as Ms. Vega proceeded to run Murray shot her in the back and neck. After the victim fell to the ground Murray stood over her and shot her in the face. She was taken to NYC Health + Hospitals Lincoln. While she has recovered from the shooting, bullets are still lodged within her body.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detective Sean Kelly of the Bronx Warrants Squad for his work in the investigation.
