Queens, New York District Attorney Melinda Katz on Monday announced that Shakim Allen and Dreshaun Smith were convicted of murder and other charges for shooting two Guyanese brothers, killing one, during a Richmond Hill robbery in January 2017.
District Attorney Katz said: “One of the victims, who was visiting from Guyana, lost his life trying to protect his younger brother. This family has experienced tremendous grief and I hope this conviction provides them a measure of closure. The defendants face long sentences for their callous actions.”
