Daquan Glenn
The defendant is accused of fatally wounding Daquan Glenn and shooting another victim in the leg at Doyle Park, in Yonkers.
On Jan. 30, Westchester County District Attorney Susan Cacace announced that a 14-year-old Stratford, Conn., resident was indicted for murder, among other charges, and arraigned this afternoon in the Youth Part before Westchester County Court Judge Helen Blackwood.
The defendant was charged by indictment with Murder in the Second Degree, Attempted Murder in the Second Degree, Assault in the Second Degree, and two counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree. He pleaded not guilty to each of the charges.
He was remanded to the custody of the Westchester County Department of Correction at Woodfield Cottage.
DA Cacace said: “The circumstances surrounding this case are tragic and disturbing. When I took office, I made a commitment to address the scourge of gun violence that affects all of us in Westchester, but our cities most acutely. We will pursue every avenue available to keep guns off our streets and out of the hands of those who would misuse them. Daquan Glenn should be alive today, and we will work to provide his family, and the community, with a measure of justice.”
At approximately 5 p.m. on Aug. 26, 2024, the defendant is accused of shooting at two victims, one fatally, at Doyle Park in Yonkers. Daquan Glenn, 29, sustained multiple gunshot wounds, including two gunshot wounds to the head. He was later pronounced dead at Saint Joseph’s Medical Center.
The second victim was discovered a short distance away with a gunshot wound to the leg. He survived his injuries.
The defendant is accused of aiding, abetting, and acting in concert with another person while committing these crimes.
Because of the defendant’s age, the murder charge carries a maximum potential penalty of 15 years to life in state prison.
The defendant is due to appear in court again on Feb. 6.
In December, the defendant was charged in a felony complaint with attempted murder and attempted assault, among other charges, in connection with an unrelated incident that occurred one month prior to the Doyle Park shooting. That case remains pending.
The investigation into the Doyle Park shooting was conducted by the Yonkers Police Department and the FBI’s Safe Streets Task Force.
The case is being prosecuted by Bureau Chief Jonathan Strongin and ADA Brian Bendish, Senior Trial Counsel in the Homicide Bureau.
