Men accused of shooting Lower Manhattan sneaker re-seller dead arraigned on first-degree murder indictment | amNewYork
Briefly

District Attorney Alvin Bragg emphasized the tragedy surrounding Javier Osorio-Mejia's murder, describing him as a well-known sneaker seller and entrepreneur whose life was senselessly cut short by violence.
The alleged assailants, Jayquan Straker and Marc Haygood, reportedly followed Osorio-Mejia from a nightclub, executing a meticulously planned robbery that escalated into murder.
Witnesses reacted with outrage during the court proceedings, with one court onlooker shouting, 'Hope you rot in jail!' as the defendants were remanded in custody.
Law enforcement reported that the murder occurred in SoHo as Osorio-Mejia stepped away from his vehicle, with Straker firing shots without announcing a robbery.
