BROOKLYN — A 33-year-old man has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for killing a 26-year-old man by bludgeoning him with a rod that was connected to a chunk of concrete during an unprovoked confrontation on an East New York street.<\/p>\n
District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said, \u201cThis defendant senselessly killed a beloved young man for absolutely no reason at all. Such wanton violence, which devastates families and destabilizes communities, will never be condoned and I hope that today\u2019s sentence brings some measure of justice to the victim\u2019s loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n
The District Attorney identified the killer as Kurt Heusel, 33, of East New York, Brooklyn. He was sentenced today to 18 years in prison and five years\u2019 post-release supervision by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Miriam Cyrulnik following his conviction in August of first-degree manslaughter after a non-jury trial.<\/p>\n
The District Attorney said that, according to testimony, on June 30, 2016, at approximately 1:30 a.m., at the vicinity of Elderts Lane and Dumont Avenue in East New York, the defendant killed Zuriyah Nasi Benyehudah, 26. The victim was a cook and delivery man who published a poetry book called Zuriano\u2019s Black Book Volume 1.<\/p>\n
The evidence showed that the defendant confronted the victim, falsely claiming he was trying to help a woman who was being stalked, and pinned him to the ground. He then grabbed a metal rod that had a chunk of concrete on the end and used it like a sledgehammer to strike the victim in the back of the head, killing him.<\/p>\n
The defendant was arrested in October 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
