On verdict:
Earlier today in the first
federal criminal trial in the
Eastern District of New York
since the COVID-19 pandemic, a
federal jury in Brooklyn
returned a guilty verdict
against Alonzo Shipp for being
a felon in possession of a
firearm and ammunition in
connection with a 2018
shooting in South Jamaica,
Queens. The verdict followed a
six-day trial before United
States District Judge Rachel
P. Kovner. When sentenced,
Shipp faces up to 10 years’
imprisonment on each
count. Seth D. DuCharme,
Acting United States Attorney
for the Eastern District of
New York, John B. DeVito,
Special Agent-in-Charge,
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives, New
York Field Division (ATF), and
Dermot F. Shea, Commissioner,
New York City Police
Department (NYPD), announced
the verdict. “A
convicted felon armed with a
gun is a fraught combination
that oftentimes results in
someone getting shot and that
is precisely what happened in
this case,” stated Acting
United States Attorney
DuCharme.
