Two Queens Men Plead Guilty To Fatal South Richmond Hill Shooting: DA

QUEENS – Two men from Queens pleaded guilty to manslaughter after shootings that left two men dead in South Richmond Hill in late 2017 and early 2018, the Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said Tuesday.

Richard Davenport. 46, and Neville Brown, 42, each pleaded guilty to manslaughter five years after fatally shooting Dail Ramessar and, over a month later, Omaree Morrison, prosecutors said.

Davenport is poised to be sentenced to 29 years in prison, while Brown is expected to be sentenced to 15 years, the district attorney's office said.

On December 2017, security cameras caught Brown and Davenport parking a Mercedes Benz near a Cadillac about 3 a.m. and then firing several times into the vehicle on 125th Street and Atlantic Avenue, fatally striking Ramessar, Katz said.

On January 2018, Davenport shot and killed Morrison, 19, while he walked on 135th Avenue, prosecutors said.

The shell casings recovered from the second shooting matched those found at the December 2017 crime scene, Katz said.
