“Henry Wallace acted recklessly with no regard for the consequences,” Bailey said. “He opened fire on a crowd of people, and his unconscionable behavior resulted in yet another innocent young person in our community senselessly losing their life to gun violence. My office will fight vigorously to ensure that Henry Wallace remains off our streets forever.”
Wallace faces 20-99 years in prison for the murder of Ty’riq Moon, 19, who was struck in the head when Wallace began shooting at patrons gathered outside the Madison Avenue eatery on the evening of Sept. 5, 2019, court records show. The shooting was captured on video surveillance footage.
