Police arrested Abraham Sosa, 20, of 1729 Fillmore Street in the Van Nest section of the borough. Sosa was hit with a slew of charges including criminal possession of a machine gun, criminal possession of a defaced weapon and 25 separate counts for the bullets loaded in the weapon.
Police arrested the second man identified by police as Christopher Mayren, 21, of Rhinelander Avenue in Morris Park, who they say attempted to interfere with Sosa’s arrest. Mayren is alleged to have kicked an officer’s body-worn camera onto the tracks and allegedly picked up an officer’s cell phone when it fell to the ground.
Mayren was charged with obstruction of governmental administration, criminal mischief and criminal possession of stolen property.
Quoting police sources, the New York Post reported that both men are suspected migrants from Mexico and a tattoo on Mayren’s arm links him to a Mexican drug cartel.
The Post also reported that Sosa was freed from Rikers Island on November 12 after posting a $25,000 bond, none of which could be verified at the time.
Sosa faces 14 criminal charges including criminal possession of a weapon, possession of ammunition, assault and resisting arrest. He was arraigned on December 6 before Bronx Supreme Court Justice Seth Streed who set bail at $25,000 cash/$75,000 bond/$75,000 partially secured bond at 5%. Sosa is due back in court on March 26.
On November 19, the Bronx Voice visited the Fillmore Street home of Sosa and found two women in the front yard of the home. The two women, workers for Tiny Fingers Daycare, were busy watching a half dozen children. The women declined to answer any questions.
When contacted by phone the unidentified female owner of the daycare said, “That house has like three apartments, so my daycare doesn’t have anything (to do) with that.” She added that she does not own the home and only rents the first floor.
The owner claimed not to know Sosa. Asked how she does not know the tenants of the home, she fumed, “No, no, no. I have been in daycare since 2011, so you’re not going to tell me what to do or not do with my program.”
The owner added, “I’m there since 2011 and nothing has happened at my daycare. I don’t have anything to do with that name, I don’t even know anybody with that name.”
After learning of the gun arrest one male resident of the block was asked if he was concerned, he replied, “It should concern everybody, what’s happening these (expletive) days bro, people are doing what they want to do. The world is changing man.”
According to the Palmetto State Armory website, the PA-15 assault rifle lists for $879.99 and is currently on sale for $499.99.
