COURTHOUSE,
June 18 – Ricardo Ferguson is
on trial for the murder on
December 5, 2021 of Robert
Brown, Sr. on Aqueduct Walk in
The Bronx.
On June 13, 2024
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Richard M. Berman,
SDNY prosecutors presented the
photo identification of
Ferguson. Inner City Press was
in the gallery, as were more
than a dozen Bronxites,
listening intently.
An NYPD
detective narrated the
identification by Luis Tejada,
who reported said, "Aqueduct
Walk Park, he shot my uncle"
and pointed.
But the
confidence question at the end
was not filled
out. Next up
was a witness from HRA.
On June 14
defense counsel asked for an
order to be able to reach
Ferguson by phone - and got
it.
On June 18, he
was convicted, with sentencing
set for October 9: "conviction
of RICARDO FERGUSON, a/k/a
“Maybach,” for the December 5,
2021, murder of Robert Brown,
Sr. inside of the Aqueduct
Park walkway in the University
Heights neighborhood of the
Bronx. FERGUSON shot
Brown in the head and
attempted to steal crack
cocaine and money from Brown’s
pockets during a dispute over
drug sales."
The case is
US v. Ferguson, 22-cr-135
(Berman)
