Bronx District Attorney (DA) Darcel D. Clark and Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch announced May 20 that four men have been indicted in a firearms trafficking conspiracy in which nine guns were sold to an undercover police officer out of a building in the Concourse section of the Bronx. One of the guns was a .300 Blackout semi-automatic rifle.
Clark said that the defendants, Junior Alvarado, 29, Brandon Suero, 29, Erick Martinez, 24, all of the Bronx, and Tajamar Daishah Hyatt, 29, of Florida, were variously charged in a 51-count indictment with criminal sale of a firearm, conspiracy, criminal sale of a controlled substance, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminal possession of a firearm, rifle or shotgun in a sensitive location; and possession of ammunition.
“These defendants allegedly provided high-powered pistols, and a semi-automatic rifle that fires ammunition suited for hunting and close-range combat. They allegedly brought a loaded gun into a playground,” the district attorney said. “We will not tolerate such wanton disregard for public safety, and I applaud the NYPD undercovers who risk their lives to stop gun traffickers.”…
