Suspect in security guard murder gets 18 year prison sentence http://www.privateofficer.com
WHITE PLAINS NY Jan 6 2009 – A 19-year-old Mount Vernon man was sentenced today to serve 18 years to life in prison for killing an apartment building security guard on Halloween night in 2007.
Nyanda Charley, who had pleaded guilty last year to murdering Neville Webb, denied in court this morning that he was the one who pulled the trigger that night and said he was pressured to confess to the crime.
But acting state Supreme Court Justice Gerald Loehr said Charley entered his guilty plea “knowingly and voluntarily” in September, and imposed the lengthy prison sentence for causing Webb’s death.
Webb, a father of five who immigrated from Jamaica, was working as a security guard at Oakwood Gardens Apartments on East Lincoln Avenue when he tried to confront a group of youths who were throwing eggs at cars as a Halloween prank.
As he approached the group, police said, Charley sneaked up behind Webb and shot him twice – in the head and chest. Webb, who was armed but never drew his weapon, died the next day.
Four days after the shooting, police arrested Charley, who’d had prior run-ins with Webb. His death sparked a weeklong outpouring of outrage and sorrow in the city.
Charley had admitted to shooting 52-year-old Neville Webb on Halloween in 2007. The guard had tried to chase off a group of youths throwing eggs near the Mount Vernon apartment complex where he was working.
Webb worked as a prison guard in Jamaica for 25 years before coming to the United States in 2005. His family said his organs were donated to nine people.

http://www.privateofficer.com/ A teenager has admitted in a suburban New York court that he shot and killed a security guard who confronted a group of egg-throwing youths on Halloween night. Westchester District Attorney Janet DiFiore says 19-year-old Nyanda Charley has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of 52-year-old Neville Webb. Webb was a Jamaican immigrant working at an apartment building in Mount Vernon last Oct. 31 when the youths started pelting cars with eggs. DiFiore says as Webb tried to chase them away Charley crept up behind him and shot him.
Charley faces up to life in prison when sentenced in December. Webb had spent a quarter-century as a prison guard in Jamaica before coming to the United States in 2005.
Webb’s family says his organs were donated to save nine people’s lives.
