BRONX - A pair of Bronx brothers will spend the next 20 years plus in prison for chasing down and then fatally shooting a man in the Pelham Parkway Houses. 

Gregory Washington, 41, was gunned down in 2017 when the Jones brothers Nydrique and Kameke, unleashed a barage of bullets at Washington as he tried to run away from his attackers, prosecutors said. 

“The defendants, acting in concert with each other, chased the 41-year-old victim and fired shots at him multiple times, causing his death,” said Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark. “The incident happened in the NYCHA Pelham Parkway Houses, terrorizing the residents. We will not tolerate gun violence that harms our community.”

According to the investigation, on October 1, 2017 at approximately 10:52 p.m., in the vicinity of Waring Avenue and Williamsbridge Road, the defendants chased Gregory Washington. As they chased the Washington, Nydrique Jones shot at him four times, striking him once in the torso. The brothers then split up and returned to their building a block away from the shooting location. 

Washington died in surgery at Jacobi Hospital a few hours after the incident.

Clark said the defendants, Nydrique Jones, 30, and Kameke Jones, 33, both last of Williamsbridge Road, were sentenced on February 10, 2023 by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Laurence Busching. Kameke Jones was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison and Nydrique Jones was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. The defendants were found guilty of second-degree Murder on October 5, 2022, after a jury trial.
