A Brooklyn man shot a bread deliveryman in the leg during a robbery and then “cold-bloodedly, ruthlessly and mercilessly” pumped another bullet into the victim’s back as he tried to limp away, prosecutors said Tuesday at the attempted-murder trial’s opening.
Randolph Murphy, 24, is being tried in Brooklyn Supreme Court for the robbery and shooting of Ecuadorean immigrant Dennis Inca as he delivered bread in Bedford-Stuyvesant on Sept. 25, 2012.
“From just a few feet away, he pumped a bullet into the right leg of the deliveryman,” Brooklyn prosecutor Fayola Williams said.
Williams added that after Murphy and his alleged accomplice grabbed $300 in cash from Inca’s pockets, they fled, “leaving the deliveryman there to die.”
The bullet that hit the deliveryman in the back went straight through him, shattering the window of a nearby laundromat, Williams said.
Defense attorney David Walensky said the shooting was a “robbery gone wrong” and his client was not involved.
“My guy wasn’t part of it,” Walensky said. “They got the wrong guy.”
Inca had to have one of his kidneys and his spleen removed later.
