Brooklyn man who shot up an East New York deli during the pandemic gets 25 years for murder
A 28-year-old from East New York was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison on Monday following a harrowing incident in which he opened fire inside a bustling deli, resulting in the tragic death of one man and the severe injury of another.
Marcus Worrell turned a Brooklyn deli into a murder scene on June 5, 2020, when he fatally shot 28-year-old Evon Hillman and severely wounded a 40-year-old man. Hillman’s fiancee gave birth to their son just two months later.
“The defendant showed a complete indifference to human life when he callously opened fire inside of a crowded deli, repeatedly shooting and killing one man, a soon-to-be father, and shooting and severely wounding a second man,” said District Attorney Eric Gonzalez. “Today’s sentence holds him accountable for his actions.”
