BRONX - A Bronx man who fatally choked his stepson, while trying to restrain the teen during an argument, has been sentenced to two to four years in prison, prosecutor said.


Tyresse Minter, 30, of Morris Avenue, was sentenced to two to four years in prison after pleading guilty to criminally negligent homicide before Bronx Supreme Court Justice Audrey Stone. The defendant pleaded guilty to the charge on January 13, 2025.


“During a fight, the defendant held his 15-year-old-stepson around the neck and in a leg hold until the boy passed out and died,” said Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark. “It’s a tragedy that this child died at the hands of someone he should have been able to trust.


According to the investigation, on January 23, 2023, the defendant got into a dispute with his 15-year-old stepson, Corde Scott in their home on Doris Street in the Parkchester area. 


Minter put Corde in a neck hold to restrain him, causing his neck to be compressed and cutting off his oxygen supply. The defendant then wrapped his legs around the boy to secure him. 


The boy lost consciousness and died. The defendant called police 20 minutes later.
