COURTHOUSE,
April 17 รข€“ One defendant was
arrested on August 23 for
having sold drugs, with a
co-conspirator, to an
undercover NYPD officer on
August 8. He was assigned a
Federal Defender, and was
detained. On
September 23, he and the
co-conspirator were indicted,
and the case brought into the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates Court, where Inner
City Press was the only
media. Magistrate Judge
Katharine H. Parker wheeled
the indicted case out, to
District Judge Lorna G.
Schofield, who then issued an
order for a joint letter with
schedule for discovery and
three dates for a status
conference. On October 22 the
US Attorney's Office wrote in
that defendant Reyes was added
to the case and detained
without prejudice. They
propose motions due January
20, noting that it has five
devices from Chavez, and
others from Rivera... On October 27,
2025, Chavez was sentenced to
84 months: seven years. On January
12 counsel to
co-defendant Reyes asked for
seven years on February 3,
citing a January 9 mitigation
report by Kathleen O'Boyle
MSW. On January 15 the
US Attorney's Office asked for
the same - seven years - with
photos of the shooting. In April, he got
just that: seven years, with
Allenwood or FCI Schuylkill
recommended, and RDAP. The case is USA v. Chavez, et al., 1:24-cr-554 (Schofield)
