Westchester County District Attorney Susan Cacace announced that a 14-year-old Stratford, Conn., resident has been charged with murder, among other offenses, and will be arraigned in the Youth Part before Westchester County Court Judge Helen Blackwood.
The indictment included second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, second-degree assault, and two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon against the defendant. He pleaded not guilty to all allegations.
The Westchester County Department of Correction at Woodfield Cottage received him back.
DA Cacace said : “The circumstances surrounding this case are tragic and disturbing. When I took office, I made a commitment to address the scourge of gun violence that affects all of us in Westchester, but our cities most acutely. We will pursue every avenue available to keep guns off our streets and out of the hands of those who would misuse them. Daquan Glenn should be alive today, and we will work to provide his family, and the community, with a measure of justice.”
On August 26, 2024, at about 5 p.m., the defendant is accused of shooting two individuals, one fatally, at Doyle Park in Yonkers. Daquan Glenn, 29, suffered multiple gunshot wounds, including two to his head. He was eventually pronounced dead at Saint Joseph’s Medical Center.
A short distance away, authorities discovered the second victim, who had sustained a gunshot wound to his leg. He survived his injuries.
The defendant is charged with assisting, abetting, and acting in concert with another person while committing these crimes.
Because of the defendant’s age, the murder charge carries a possible sentence of 15 to life in state prison.
The defendant will return to court on February 6.
In December, the defendant was charged in a felony complaint with attempted murder, attempted assault, and other offenses in connection with an unconnected incident that occurred one month before the Doyle Park shooting. That case is still pending.
The Yonkers Police Department and the FBI’s Safe Streets Task Force investigated the Doyle Park shooting.
Bureau Chief Jonathan Strongin and ADA Brian Bendish, Senior Trial Counsel for the Homicide Bureau, are prosecuting the case.
