Jadhian Cordero, a participant in a brazen midday armed robbery, has been sentenced to 8 years in prison for his role in the senseless crime that led to the death of 69-year-old innocent bystander Robin Wright. On August 27, 2025, Cordero and his co-conspirators robbed a drug dealer near East 109th Street and Madison Avenue in Manhattan, sparking a violent altercation that ended in tragedy. The robbery turned deadly when one of Cordero’s accomplices fired 15 shots, striking Wright, who was simply standing with a walker on the northwest corner of East 110th Street and Madison Avenue.
The incident highlights the destructive nature of violent gun crimes and the devastating impact they have on innocent lives. As U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton stated, New York City families deserve to live free of senseless violence on their streets. Cordero’s sentence demonstrates the commitment of law enforcement to holding all participants in violent gun crimes accountable.
According to court filings, Cordero and his co-conspirators got into a physical altercation with the drug dealer before grabbing backpacks containing marijuana and fleeing the scene. The use of a machine-gun conversion device by one of Cordero’s accomplices only added to the chaos and danger of the situation.
The victim, Robin Wright, was a loving parent and grandmother who was simply enjoying her afternoon when she fell victim to the senseless violence. Her death serves as a stark reminder of the need for continued efforts to combat violent crime and protect innocent lives.
