Victim Had Accused Defendant of Cheating
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced that a Manhattan man was sentenced to 23 years in prison for first-degree Manslaughter for fatally shooting a Bronx father of four in a dispute over a dice game.
District Attorney Clark said, “This defendant cold-bloodedly shot and killed a husband and father of four children. With this lengthy prison sentence justice has been served. I express my sympathy to the family of the victim and hope this sentence will give them peace of mind.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Kareem Reid, 32, of St. Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, was sentenced on June 18, 2026, to 23 years in prison plus five years post release supervision for first-degree Manslaughter, and 10 years plus five years post release supervision for second-degree Criminal Possession, both sentences to run concurrently, by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Guy H. Mitchell. Reid was convicted by a jury on January 9, 2026.
According to the facts brought out at trial, shortly after midnight on August 29, 2020, the defendant joined in a dice game with a group of people in front of 1133 Boston Road. At around 3 a.m. Tyrone Tabanah, 34, accused Reid of cheating. After the game ended, Reid pulled out a gun and fired multiple shots, hitting one man in the ankle and Tabanah in the thigh. The bullet severed Tabanah’s femoral artery. He ran for a few blocks, then collapsed and died.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detectives Brianna Constantino and Faton Alickaj of Bronx Homicide Squad for their work in the investigation.
