Bronx man receives 18-year sentence for Marine Park home invasion
District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced on Monday that Tyrique Rushing, a 25-year-old man from the Bronx, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison following a guilty plea to first-degree attempted murder, first-degree criminal sexual act, and first-degree burglary.
Rushing, along with two co-defendants, Lance Jyrkenin and Shirnel Sobers, was involved in a shocking home invasion and assault of an elderly couple in Marine Park in 2018.
“This defendant violated the sanctity of this couple’s home and subjected them to unconscionable violence. With today’s lengthy sentence, he has now been brought to justice and the victims will be spared the anguish of a trial.”
