SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 3 – In a rare felony
sentencing conducted by
telephone on April 13
cooperator Joey Colon was
given a time served sentence
in a drugs and guns conspiracy
concerning the Millbrook
Houses development in the
South Bronx.
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Analisa Torres, whose
previous reflections on the
history of the Millbrook
Houses at sentencings Inner
City Press has reported on, on
April 7, 2020 cited Section
15002(b)(2) of the CARES Act
in setting up the telephonic
sentencing.
On the
April 13 telephone sentencing
call, Colon's lawyer Camille
M. Abate described Colon's
childhood. At 12, he was "left
alone in a two bedroom
apartment in the Millbrook
Houses." At 13, he was
sentenced as a juvenile to 18
months
incarceration.
In a
separate filing Assistant US
Attorney Jordan Este described
to Judge Torres the founding
of the "up the block" gang MBG
of "Mill Brook Gangstas"
(there is another name), and
its bloody battles with "down
the block" rival
Killbrook.
Estes
wrote, "MBG's rivalry with
Killbrook began in 2007, after
MBG member Joey Colon shot an
individual from 'down the
block.'" The government's 5K.1
letter, as of the time of the
sentencing, was not part of
the public docket, in which
numbers 652, 632, 630, 612,
590 and 589 and before are
sealed.
Judge Torres after announcing
the time served sentence asked
Mr. Colon to help turn other
youths away from the wrong
path, and wished him well.
Jump cut to June
3, 2025 when in the same case
the AUSA wrote in that
co-defendant Wingo was
discharged from drug treatment
and shouted an anti-woman
curse word. The request, on
June 9, is for supervision to
be reimposed for two years
with 90 days in-patient drug
treatment.
The case is USA
v. Colon, et al., 17-cr-611
(Torres).
