Bushwick carjacker gets 33 to life for murder of sheet metal worker
A 22-year-old Bushwick man was sentenced to 33 years to life in prison Wednesday for murdering a sheet metal worker and shooting two others, including a 13-year-old girl.
Bryan Aponte remained straight-faced throughout his sentencing at Brooklyn Supreme Court as family members of his killed victim, Michael Matusiak, collected in the court room.
“We cannot see that time will play the part of healer,” Santos Lebron, Matusiak’s brother-in-law, said in court. “Mike to us was one of those people you always expect to be around.”
