Boy, 17, sentenced to 21 years to life in prison for fatal shooting of teen near East New York High School
Defendant Shot the Victim Twice in the Head in Broad Daylight
Acting Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced on Monday that a teenager from East New York has been sentenced to 21 years to life in prison for fatally shooting an 18-year-old in the head near a high school in East New York, where the victim had gone to meet his younger sister.
Gonzalez said, “This defendant took the life of another teenager and with today’s sentence he has been held responsible for his callous actions.”
The ADA identified the defendant as Malik Streat, 17. He was sentenced on Monday to 21 years to life in prison by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Alexander B. Jeong. Streat was convicted of second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon following a jury trial last month.
