Defendant also Stabbed the Victim’s Partner
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced that a Bronx man was sentenced to 12 years in prison after being convicted of first-degree Manslaughter for stabbing another man to death during a street altercation.
District Attorney Clark said, “This defendant stabbed two people, causing the death of a man beloved by his family. This defendant’s actions have devastated the victim’s loved ones, causing deep emotional wounds. I hope they take some comfort in knowing he will now spend more than a decade in prison.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Ira Shane, 56, of the Bronx, was sentenced September 15, 2026, to 12 years in prison and five years post-release supervision by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Giyang An. On June 26, 2026, the defendant was convicted by a jury of first-degree Manslaughter.
According to the facts brought out at trial, at approximately 2 a.m. on January 1, 2023, in front of 1335 College Avenue, the victim, Sergio Garcia, was engaged in a verbal dispute with his partner. Bystanders with no connection to Garcia and his partner began to film the argument with their cellphones. This led to an altercation between Garcia, his partner, and the people filming. During that dispute, the defendant stabbed both the victim and his partner. Despite his injuries, Garcia drove himself and his partner to the hospital, however, Garcia died a short time later.
District Attorney Clark also thanked NYPD Detective Edwin Vega of the 47th Precinct, Detective Felix Arana of Bronx Warrants and retired Detective Collin Higgins of Bronx Homicide for their work in the case.
