COURTHOUSE,
Oct 17 – A woman was indicted
for murder for hire in
September 2024 and her case
assigned to U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Analisa Torres. She was
writted in from Miami to the
SDNY Magistrates Court, which
Inner City Press closely
covers.
The murder
was committed around Christmas
2023. The victim was Clarisa
Burgos.
On October
4, the SDNY prosecutors wrote
to Judge Torres that "DOJ has
authorized this Office not to
seek the death penalty."
On October 15,
co-defendant Smith was in the
SDNY Magistrates Court. Inner
City Press as only media there
live tweeted, from thread:
AUSA: He
orchestrated multiple
shooting, with a person
already detained.
Judge: The US has
met its burden. A woman is
dead, due to the alleged use
of a cell phone. There are
messages. I note your
extensive international
travel, and lack of visible
means to support it. You will
be detained.
Note: the
judge asked about Smith's
"a/k/a" on the indictment and
was told it was just his
Instagram handle. And on that
page, nine photos - more on X

On October 17,
Jeezy Mula, whose cases Inner
City Press has previously
covered, was added: "a
Superseding Indictment
charging DAJAHN MCBEAN, a/k/a
“Jeezy Mula,” a/k/a “Freeze,”
KARL SMITH, a/k/a “Pacavell,”
for roles in attempting to
murder an individual in
December 2023, which resulted
in the shooting death of
Clarisa Burgos on December 26,
2023. MCBEAN is already
serving a federal sentence for
directing a separate
gang-related shooting in
January 2017 and will be
presented today in Manhattan
federal court before U.S.
Magistrate Judge Sarah L.
Cave." Inner City Press, and
as only media in the Mag court
live tweeted, thread
AUSA: Mr McBean
is incarcetated on an EDNY
case and was brought into this
District last night by US
Marshals. Judge: You are here
on this new case. You are
charged with using a cell
phone to lure a victim to a
night club to be shot - one
injured, 1 dead
Judge: Also
destroying evidence, the cell
phone, this year. How do you
plead? CJA lawyer: Not guilty.
And he does not consent to
excluding time under the
Speedy Trial Act. Judge: I
exclude anyway.
The case
is US v. Harris, et
al., 24-cr-541 (Torres)
