A teenage suspect pleaded guilty Tuesday to a fatal stray-bullet shooting of a disabled and elderly East Harlem woman, the office of U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York announced.
Faisil McCants, 18, faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 years in prison — and maximum of life in prison — for firing a machine gun that blasted Robin Wright in the head around 12:25 p.m. on Aug. 27 near E. 110th St. and Madison Ave., less than a block from the apartment she shared with her grandson.
“Faisil McCants fired 15 bullets in a matter of seconds in the middle of the day, killing a 69-year-old innocent woman who was doing nothing more than standing by her walker on an East Harlem street,” U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton said in a statement.
He is set to be sentenced on March 31, 20
