SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 4 – On March 7, 2019
a sealed indictment for
attempted murder in The Bronx
was filed by U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Debra
Freeman.
It described a
shooting "at gang rivals in
the vicinity of East 137th
Street and Brown Place in The
Bronx, New York, striking an
off-duty New York City police
officer in the chest."
On
December 4, Jose Caban and
Corey Cray were presented
before SDNY Magistrate Judge
Barbara Moses, charged with
violent crimes in aid of
racketeering.
The US
Attorney's Office specified
the attack as being on
February 9, 2019 and on 137th
Street and Willis Avenue; they
asked that the two be
detained, which their lawyers
consented
to.
There will
be a conference in the case on
December 11 before SDNY Judge
Valerie Caproni. Back on March
20 with other co-defendants in
the case in her courtroom,
Judge Caproni told those in
the gallery, "Let me just say
to the audience, this is a
courtroom. You can wave to
your friends and family
members, you can throw them a
kiss, and can do whatever you
can to do. Stay in your seat
until they have gotten out of
the courtroom, and no shouting
out. Thank you all."
The case is US
v. Avila, et al.,
19-cr-166 (Caproni).
