“This type of premeditated, targeted gun violence cannot and will not be tolerated, and my office has been working day in and day out to bring the defendant to justice,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said.

Bragg announced the indictment at a press conference late Tuesday afternoon with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
