A pair of Queens gangbangers were each sentenced yesterday to 50 years in prison for gunning down an innocent 13-year-old boy as he walked home from school.
“Jail is too good for you,” cried Donna Hood, the heartbroken mother of Kevin Miller, who was shot in the back of the head in 2009 as he was running away from a hail of bullets fired by Gregory Calas, then 16, and Nnonso Ekwegbalu, then 18.
“This is unfair! I dropped him off to school that morning and never thought that that would be the last time I saw my son,” said Hood, 39, who second-guessed picking up Miller after school because she didn’t want to “embarrass” him.
Miller was only three weeks into his freshmen year at Campus Magnet Humanities and the Arts HS in Cambria Heights on Oct. 2, 2009, when a crowd of Bloods gang members were fleeing in his direction from the rival Crips members.
“I don’t feel good giving a sentence to young people like you . . . What were you thinking?!” said Justice Lasak, who scolded the two felons for bringing guns to a fight that “senselessly” killed Miller and injured car-wash worker Pedro Garcia.
After the sentencing, Hood and her family gathered in a circle to pray for strength for their family.
