According to the investigation, on August 17, 2016, at 9:15 p.m., the defendant was driving a stolen livery cab and as he neared College Avenue near East 170th Street in Claremont Village, his passenger fired multiple shots. 


Dontae (Tae) Gordon, 17, was shot in the stomach and died at Lincoln Hospital. His 21-year-old friend was wounded. 


Medina was arrested in 2019. 




The shooter has not been apprehended. 


“The defendant admitted driving a stolen car from which a gunman opened fire on a street corner and shot a teen and a man who were not the targets,” Clark said. “Dontae Gordon, just 17 years old, was killed. Anyone who contributes to deadly mayhem on our streets will be held accountable.”
