"Officials said when Fryar saw them that day, he pulled up his car at the W. 33rd St. and Neptune Ave. construction site - his wife in the passenger seat - and started looking around his trunk. One of the workers punched him, so he ran, waited a minute, and returned to his car - then took a gun out of his trunk and fired three shots at the crowd, prosecutors said."
"He was convicted of second-degree murder last month after a jury trial in Brooklyn Supreme Court. Justice Phyllis Chu hit him with the 25-to-life sentence Thursday. "My mom didn't deserve what happened to her. He deserved everything he got," Dixon's daughter, Minnie Scott, told the Daily News on Thursday. "I miss my mom every day. It's been a long six years. I've been waiting for this every day. I'm happy that justice is served.""
Malik Fryar, 34, fired three shots at a Coney Island construction site on Feb. 4, 2019 after an earlier confrontation with workers, striking and fatally wounding 53-year-old Dorothy Dixon and wounding another worker in the foot. Fryar pulled up to the W. 33rd St. and Neptune Ave. site, returned to his car after being punched, retrieved a handgun from his trunk, and shot into the crowd. Fryar fled and abandoned his car in Brighton Beach; he was captured over five months later in a Lower East Side apartment. A jury convicted Fryar of second-degree murder and he received a 25-to-life sentence.
