Man Depicted Shooting 12 Times with Ghost Gun in Bronx Seeks Bail But Denied in SDNY

Man Depicted Shooting 12 Times with Ghost Gun in Bronx Seeks Bail But Denied in SDNY by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 18 – A man depicted shooting a ghost gun 12 times by a housing project in the Bronx at 3 am asked to be released on bail on June 18.    In the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrates Court, there was no one but Inner City Press in the gallery, so this X thread: Judge: I've seen the video and it does not appear anyone shot at him.  AUSA: According to the Carolina records, there have been 12 bench warrants issued against him. Defense lawyer: You can see the dirt kick up beside him.  AUSA: Exhibit A would have you the best view. Judge: Just give me a minute... I saw a gentleman wearing white approach the defendant. It looks like the defendant pulls out his gun first. I do see some dirt jumping up. But regardless this looks to me like a very dangerous incident.  Judge: I don't think he's a risk of flight, but it strikes me that he is a very volatile personality who bought a ghost gun. There was a window, there was a case like this in another state that a lot of people are paying attention to. He poses a risk.  Judge: He will be detained. The case is USA v.
