BRONX - A Bronx man was sentenced to 20 years for pistol whipping, choking and robbing a 12-year-old girl who was returning home from school, prosecutors said. 


The defendant, Gabriel Narvaez, 46, formerly of East 164th Street, was sentenced to 20 years in prison each on first-degree robbery and first-degree burglary and seven years in prison for second-degree assault to run concurrently plus five years post-release supervision by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Jeanette Rodriguez-Morick. He was found guilty by a jury on November 12, 2024. 


“The defendant followed the girl home and brutally attacked her at the front door of her family’s apartment,” said Bronx District Attorney Clark. “Despite her injuries, she fought back. Hopefully, this sentence will bring a measure of justice to this brave child.”


According to the facts brought out at trial, on March 9, 2020, at approximately 3:50 p.m. on East 139th Street in the Mott Haven section, the defendant was outside the victim’s building when she came home from school. He followed her in and pulled a gun, and then pistol-whipped, punched, kicked, and choked her. As she struggled with the defendant, he took her keys and cellphone. 


Neighbors interrupted the attack, and the defendant ran out the front door. He left behind a surgical mask and baseball hat he was wearing. A DNA profile was extracted from those objects which matched the defendant, and he was arrested on November 19, 2020. The victim was transported to the hospital with gashes to her head, bruises to her body, and internal bleeding. After she was treated and released, she required follow up treatment to include psychiatric counseling.
