SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 18 -- Near 751 East 161st
Street in the South Bronx on
June 21, 2000, Caprice Jones
was shot and
killed.
On January
30, 2020 - twenty years later
- a sealed indictment was
signed by U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Magistrate Judge
James L. Cott, for the arrest
of Frank Lopez and Ralph Berry
on capital murder charges for
the death of Caprice Jones, in
connection with both men's
alleged crack sales.
On February
7 in Texas, Frank Lopez was
arrested. And four full weeks
later on March 4, Frank Lopez
was presented and arraigned in
SDNY Magistrates Court, with
Inner City Press the only
media present.
Lopez was
brought in by U.S. Marshals;
his assigned counsel said he
has high blood pressure and
acid reflux. He also displayed
heavy tattoos.
Assistant
US Attorney Domenic Gentile
said the government sought
detention, in which Lopez'
assigned counsel consented
without prejudice. Inner City
Press will continue to follow
this and other capital cases.
The case is US v. Lopez,
20-cr-84 (Nathan).
