Kwane Reynolds, a 58-year-old Yonkers man and convicted felon, shot a victim in the stomach at point-blank range on a busy public street in the Bronx on December 30, 2024. The brazen daylight shooting was captured on surveillance video, which showed Reynolds drawing a firearm and firing two shots at the victim after a verbal dispute. Reynolds then fled the scene on a bicycle. The motive behind the shooting is not clear, but the outcome is: Reynolds has been found guilty of possessing ammunition after a felony conviction.
The conviction carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. US Attorney Jay Clayton praised the work of the New York City Police Department in the case, which was handled by the Office’s General Crimes Unit. Assistant US Attorneys Cameron Molis, Joe Zabel, and Jacob R. Fiddelman are in charge of the prosecution.
Reynolds’ history of violent crime makes this conviction a significant win for law enforcement. According to the US Attorney’s office, Reynolds has previously been convicted of a felony, and this latest conviction demonstrates the commitment to prosecuting violent felons to the maximum extent of the law.
The case will now move to sentencing, where Reynolds will face up to 15 years in prison. The exact date of the sentencing has not been scheduled. The US Attorney’s office will continue to pursue cases like this one, working to reduce gun violence and keep communities safe.
