Man who was sentenced to 15 years in prison in fatal five points

A man from Colorado, who was involved in four times from 2023 in Denvers Five Points district, was sentenced to 15 years in the federal prison for illegal ammunition.

The 25 -year -old Tyrell Braxton has been more of the federal prison from the federal prison for just four months than the authorities claimed that he was one of at least eight shooters who fired 7 shots during a shootout on August 19, 2023, as the Federal Court's records show.

The exchange of shots in the 28th and Welton Street killed the 25-year-old Gulian Musiwa and 23-year-old Lumumba Sayers Jr. Two women were injured, but survived.

Braxton was accused of murder of Musiwa's murder because of the first degree, but the public prosecutor in Denver dropped the criminal proceedings against him in December 2023. He was charged a month later for the charges for ammunition of the federal government, and the federal -year -old convicted Braxton illegally with ammunition as Felon in October.

In an application to dismiss the murder accusation, the public prosecutor wrote that they could not prove the case “undoubtedly”. The court files were then sealed from the public perspective, and Colorado's law now prohibits the public prosecutor to discuss the state case.

In the submissions of the Federal Court, the Braxton's public prosecutors said that the public prosecutor's office dismissed the state murder case because they thought that Braxton acted in self -defense.

“The public prosecutor did not believe that they could undoubtedly refute self -defense,” defender Lisa Moses wrote in a federal submission.

The state prosecutor said that Braxton had shot Musiwa “without provocation”-monitoring material showed that he shot Musiwa into his chest and searched for the maximum 15-year prison sentence for the illegal ammunition conviction.

The shootout occurred around 3:48 a.m. and shooting lasted a full minute, the federal prosecutor wrote. Before shooting, Braxton hanged more than 90 minutes on the street corner with a group of people, including Sayers Jr.

At 3:48 a.m., Misuwa went on the street corner and exchanged words with Braxton, which then shot in Misuwa six times and, according to the Federal Court, hit him and back. The injured women were nearby.

Braxton shots made up a stream of violence: people on the street corner fired at least 71 shots from eight different weapons, the prosecutors said. One of the shooters was Dontay Bumphus, 36, the surveillance video was shown. He owed himself guilty of having obsessed a weapon and ammunition as a criminal and was sentenced to almost four years in prison in October.

Braxton was one of four shooters who were released against Sayers Jr. during the shootout, the Federal Prosecutor's Office wrote in court files. Sayers Jr. was also armed and six shots were fired during the exchange, the public prosecutor said.
