"Today, Oliver has been justly punished for the harm he inflicted upon two people in separate, callous shootings in Brooklyn," said U.S. Attorney Breon Peace. "Fortunately, these victims survived. My office will continue to work tirelessly with our federal and local law enforcement to reduce gun-related violence in our communities."
On Sept. 25, 2021, following an argument on the sidewalk on Van Siclen Avenue in East New York, Oliver shot a victim in the torso before fleeing the scene on foot. The victim was hospitalized with gunshot wounds, a lacerated spleen, and fractured ribs but survived.
Justice Irizarry also found Oliver responsible for a second shooting that occurred on July 8, 2020, inside an East New York convenience store. During this incident, Oliver shot a worker in the chest and hand following a dispute, severely injuring him.
After these shootings, Oliver took steps to destroy evidence, including deleting an image of two guns from his cell phone and throwing the handgun used in the 2020 shooting into the East River.
