"Joshua Bonilla was sentenced to 32 years to life, and Bryant Perez, identified by prosecutors as the getaway driver, received 20 years to life after pleading guilty."
"Prosecutors say Bonilla stood up through the sunroof of a stolen Honda CR-V and fired about 10 rounds into the park, hitting the teens at close range."
"Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez stated, 'Today's lengthy prison terms hold these defendants accountable,' emphasizing the focus on individuals who threaten neighborhood safety."
A Brooklyn judge sentenced Joshua Bonilla to 32 years to life and Bryant Perez to 20 years to life for their roles in a 2020 drive-by shooting. The incident occurred at George Walker Jr. Park, resulting in the deaths of 16-year-old Kleimer Piron and 18-year-old Antonio Villa. Bonilla fired approximately 10 rounds from a stolen vehicle, while Perez recorded parts of the event. Both men were linked to the Warblock Street gang, and their convictions were part of ongoing efforts to address gang-related violence in Brooklyn.
