COURTHOUSE,
Sept 5 – A man charged with
two shootings in The Bronx in
February 2024 - one in an
apartment building, another in
a corner deli - was brought
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Vernon S. Broderick
on September 5. Inner City
Press was there, the only
media in the
courtroom.
The
defendant, in an orange
jumpsuit, has been detained
since March 19. Judge
Broderick asked about the
proof that the apartment and
room in which the vest with
the ammo in it was found were
those of the defendant, in
order to determine if an
evidentiary hearing will be
necessary.
The
Assistant US Attorney,
referring to a "trigger fish"
leading to the apartment, said
the vest was in plain view in
the bedroom.
A next conference
was set for January 15, 2025
at 1 pm.
The case is
US v. Mejia, 24-cr-212
(Broderick)
