A murderer from Manhattan who converted a Queens Baby Shower in a bloodbath has been slapped with 19 years to life after bars, prosecutors fell on Wednesday. Tajai Holman, 27, launched a BMW with a 9 mm gun, losing its goal but drilling a bullet on the 19 -year -old Reon Cambridge forehead, which was right on the trip.

Brooklyn da Eric González did not accelerate the words after the sentence, calling him “a terrible act of armed violence that turned a celebration of a new life into a meaningless tragedy.” The gloomy scene took place on March 6, 2021, when Holman arrived at the party on Weirfield Street in Ridgewood, packing heat and a bad attitude.

According to the district prosecutor, problems prepared around 9:50 pm when Holman got into him with another guest. Things spent tense to fast. At 12:53 am, the other guy detached himself in his BMW X6 M 2018, with Cambridge riding a shotgun. Holman did not let him slide: he pursued the SUV down and unloaded five rounds in its end. Milaculously, he lost.

But the night was not over. An hour later, at 1:52 am, the BMW came to the party, Cambridge still in the passenger seat. Holman, apparently waiting, took a step forward as a Wild West gunman, directed at the front of the trip and squeezed five more shots. This time, it was not lost. A slug crashed on Cambridge’s forehead, turning the teenager’s night into his last. The driver left him at Brookdale hospital in Brooklyn, where Docs declared him dead.

“This prayer sends a message,” González Thunder. “We have zero tolerance for the shootings in our communities, and those who press the trigger will pay.” He offered a gloomy wink to Cambridge’s family, shaken by the “tremendous loss.”

The fate of Holman was sealed after a jury nailed him for second degree murder on December 17, 2024. On Wednesday, the Judge of the Brooklyn Supreme Court, Dineen Riviezzo, dropped the hammer, locking him for 19 years. The police caught the shooter two months after the murder, on May 19, 2021, thanks to an investigation of the 67th enclosure that supported the work of detectives, digital evidence and technological magicians of the prosecutor’s office.

For a night that was supposed to welcome a new baby, he ended with a child in a coffin, and an armed man who will have decades in a cell to think about it.
