COURTHOUSE,
Sept 23 – A man
previously convicted of drug
dealing was charged with
shooting a gun, as a felon in
possession, on November 20,
2025 on Ridge Street and
Stanton Street on the Lower
East Side of Manhattan. He
pled guilty. Inner City Press
has been following the
case.
Now in the
run-up to a September 23
sentencing before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Richard M. Berman, his
Federal Defender wrote in
asking for a time served
sentence.
She
narrates that her client was
being pursued through the
streets in his own
neighborhood when he fired,
and that his criminal record
is stale.
The case
is USA v. Agosto, 1:26-cr-45
(Berman)
