Jakhi McCray admitted to setting fire to 10 NYPD vehicles and one trailer in Bushwick, resulting in over $800,000 in damages. The incident occurred on June 12, 2025, and McCray faces a minimum of five years and up to 20 years in prison. He climbed a fence into a secured lot and ignited fires beneath the vehicles. Investigators linked him to the crime through video surveillance and physical evidence, including a lighter and sunglasses with his fingerprints.
"The defendant's actions were not only dangerous, but they were also a direct attack on public safety and the rule of law."
"Video surveillance showed a person scaling the fence to the lot shortly before 1 a.m., then fleeing through a hole in the fence after the fires."
