The Bronx District Attorney\u2019s Office announced the sentencing of a Bronx man for a 2020 nightclub shooting in University Heights.<\/p>\n
Domingo Berroa, 37, will serve 20 years to life in prison for opening fire inside Trios nightclub, killing Wendolin Ortiz, 19, and striking a man in the arm.<\/p>\n
The Bronx DA sentenced Berroa to an additional 10 years behind bars and five years post-release supervision for criminal possession of a weapon.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, Berroa pulled out a gun during an argument on Oct. 19 inside the club near Jerome Avenue and North Street and fired once, missing his intended target.<\/p>\n
“The defendant put people’s lives at risk when he opened fire inside a nightclub. His reckless actions caused the death of a 19-year-old woman who was enjoying a night out. No one should have to fear they are risking their lives by enjoying our borough’s nightlife,\u201d said District Attorney Darcel Clark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bronx District Attorney\u2019s Office announced the sentencing of a Bronx man for a 2020 nightclub shooting in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53744,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,786,9,24,7378,63,3209,129,131,130,11308],"class_list":["post-53743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-fatal-shooting","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nightclub","tag-nyc","tag-sentencing","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news","tag-university-heights"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53743\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
