Mark Munoz, a 37-year-old man from Staten Island, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for a violent incident that occurred on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in 2023. He fired multiple shots into a taxi, striking a 21-year-old pregnant woman. The shooting was rooted in a prior altercation with a male passenger. After fleeing the scene, Munoz evaded capture for nearly a year until his arrest in May 2024. The Brooklyn District Attorney condemned Munoz’s actions as reckless and terrifying, emphasizing the disregard for human life during the violent act.
"This was a terrifying and calculated act of violence carried out in the middle of the day on one of the city's busiest highways, Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez said in a statement."
