Three men were sentenced on Wednesday to substantial prison terms for their involvement in a drugging scheme at a gay bar in New York City, which resulted in the deaths of two patrons, Julio Ramirez and John Umberger, in 2022. The defendants, Jayqwan Hamilton, Jacob Barroso, and Robert DeMaio, were found guilty of orchestrating this years-long plot that involved using fentanyl to incapacitate victims before robbing them. Their actions not only led to severe legal consequences but also underscored the risks associated with nightlife in urban settings.
The trio were sentenced to decades in prison for a fentanyl drugging scheme that led to the deaths of two men in New York City's Hell's Kitchen area.
The verdict came after Julio Ramirez and John Umberger were found dead in 2022 following nights out in a city gay bar, highlighting the dangers of drug-facilitated crimes.
