The convicted killer of an 11-year-old Queens boy was granted clemency by Gov. Kathy Hochul and could get sprung from prison within weeks — sparking outrage from elected officials and law-enforcement sources familiar with the heartbreaking case.
Hochul cited the college degrees Bruce Bryant earned during his nearly 30 years behind bars, as well as his charitable work.Assemblyman Kieran Michael Lalor also said, “I’m a father of four. I can’t even imagine the pain the victim’s family felt and no doubt still feels.” Another law enforcement source opined, “College degrees are nice but it doesn’t show any remorse on Mr. Bryant’s part.”
Bryant, 53, had served two prison terms for dealing drugs and was on parole when he and an accomplice shot up the New Look Beauty Salon in Jamaica as part of a drug dispute that targeted the boyfriend of Travis’ mom inside. “By my house I hear gunshots at night. You can call it noise or you can call it night noises. I know what it is! We can make a change. When the change is made 107th Street will have peace,” the poem said, referencing the block on which the brothers lived.at a Queens park in 2015.
“In addition to the lineup identifications, Bryant testified that he was present at the scene of the crime when the shooting occurred; further, the prosecution presented two additional witnesses who identified Bryant in court, one of whom testified that Bryant was one of two men who fired at the beauty salon, and the other of whom testified that Bryant was walking toward the salon with his gun drawn,” Block wrote.
