NEW YORK — A Bronx teenager was sentenced Friday for fatally shooting an honor student walking home from school in broad daylight, the district attorney announced.

At least six bullet casings were recovered at the corner of Saint Ann’s Avenue and East 156th Street in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx, where 16-year-old Yambo was shot in the upper back on April 8, 2022. The bullets pierced his lung and pulmonary artery. Two other students, both 17 years old, were shot in the leg and buttocks.
“The defendant was in a dispute with two men when he fired multiple shots from a ‘ghost gun’…His actions took the life of a beautiful young woman and shattered the lives of the survivors and the victims’ families,” Clark said.
The shooting occurred outside the South Bronx Educational Campus, which houses two schools, Mott Haven Village Prep (where two of the teens attended) and University Heights High School. The third teen went to University Prep charter high school, a short distance away.
The three students, who police said did not know each other, had recently left school when the gunman opened fire around 1:45 p.m. that followingnoon. Video recovered from the area that captured the deadly burst of gunfire allegedly shows the gunman in a heated exchange with a group of men across the street at the intersection. Senior officials said the hand gestures between the men are “consistent with gang affiliation.”
Additional videos tracked the suspect, Ryan, heading east on East 156th Street, where police located him at his residence on East 161th Street. As he patrolled outside the house, police saw a black bag being thrown out the window. The two senior officials said officers searched the bag and found an unloaded ghost gun.
