Brooklyn Man Sentenced for Attempted Murder in Drive-By Shooting
**Brooklyn, NY** – A Brooklyn man received a 10-year prison sentence on Thursday after pleading guilty to second-degree attempted murder. The charges stem from a 2021 incident where he fired at an Uber Eats driver during a random drive-by shooting.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced that Laquan Battle, 28, from New Lots, Brooklyn, was sentenced by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Jane Tully. The defendant also faces five years of post-release supervision after pleading guilty on September 25.
The incident occurred on December 5, 2021, around 11:45 p.m. on Pacific Street in Crown Heights. The victim, a 22-year-old driver, was in his Toyota when Battle allegedly fired approximately four shots from a red Kia, hitting the victim’s car and another parked vehicle.
Detectives from the 77th precinct traced the car’s license plate through surveillance video, leading them to identify Battle as the shooter. He was apprehended in Jonesboro, Georgia, in May 2022 and subsequently brought back to New York.
