A reputed Queens gang member who fatally shot 14-year-old high school basketball standout Aamir Griffin in 2019 was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Wednesday, the Queens District Attorney’s Office said.
Sean Brown, 21, pleaded guilty last month to manslaughter, conspiracy and weapons charges in connection with the senseless slaying, which authorities say was a case of mistaken identity.
Brown, a reputed member of the Money World street gang, allegedly opened fire after he mistook Aamir for a member of a rival gang, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said previously.
On Wednesday morning, Queens Supreme Court Justice Kenneth Holder sentenced Brown to 25 years for manslaughter, with an additional five to 15 years for conspiracy and five years for the gun charge.
The conspiracy and gun penalties will be served consecutively, the DA said.
Brown will be subject to five years of post-release supervision.
