One Victim Suffered Devastating Injuries

Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced that a Bronx man was sentenced to 15 years in prison after being found guilty of Attempted Murder and Assault for shooting two women, seriously injuring one of them. 

District Attorney Clark said, “This defendant opened fire on a crowded Bronx sidewalk in the middle of the afternoon. His intended target was hit twice, suffering grievous injuries. Another victim was hit in the leg. With this lengthy prison sentence justice has been served. I hope this sentence will give the two victims and their families peace of mind.” 

District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Carlos Rivera, 66, of East 178th Street, Bronx, was sentenced on May 11, 2026, to 15 years in prison and five years post release supervision by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Verena Powell. Rivera was convicted by a jury of Attempted Murder in the first-degree, first-degree Assault, second-degree Assault, and second-degree Criminal Possession of a Weapon on March 6, 2026. 

According to the facts brought out at trial, at approximately 1:48 p.m. on May 3, 2023, the defendant and Erica DiSalvio got into an argument inside the TD Bank located at 148 E Fordham Road. Rivera exited the bank and waited for DiSalvio. When she exited the bank, Rivera pointed a firearm at her and fired two shots, striking her twice. The bullets hit her in the pelvic area, right chest, and right arm. A bystander who was on the street, was hit in the leg. Both women were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital. DiSalvio suffered serious injuries which required reconstructive surgery. To this day she experiences pain in her arm and leg.
