Times Square Shooter Identified

“All sequences of these events were captured on high-definition surveillance cameras,” Manhattan prosecutor Sidney Balman told the judge at Clark’s hearing.

“While in line to order food, an unknown male inside the restaurant came up to the ordering kiosk and exchanged words with the defendant,” Balman said. “At which the defendant left the restaurant.

“The unknown male and other individuals followed shortly behind. While on 44th Street, the defendant pulled out a firearm, pointed it at the individuals coming out of the restaurant and fired three rounds.

“The defendant hit one male who was part of the group in the restaurant that called him out, as well as other innocent bystanders.”

“The officer recovered a .380-caliber Glock 42 from the defendant’s waistband, which was still loaded with one round in the chamber,” the prosecutor said.

The teen’s Legal Aid lawyer asked that he be held on $10,000 cash bail or a $50,000 bond.

“He has not been arrested before,” public defender Sean Parmenter told the judge. “He graduated high school. In the [prosecution’s] own application it states that the individuals, one of them started speaking to my client, unprompted.

“As he left, they decided to follow him out onto the street.”

“We are not aware of any prior record the defendant has, though he faces substantial penalties, and we believe remand is reasonable,” Balman said.
