Three men have been charged in the death of a man shot in the back early this month in Valley Stream, Nassau police said Wednesday.
Two suspects from Valley Stream, Gil Iphael and Joshua Desrosiers, were each arraigned Wednesday in First District Court in Hempstead on a charge of second-degree murder while committing a felony and held without bail, online court records show.
The third suspect, Michael Durham, 20, of Miller Place in Valley Stream, was arrested Wednesday and had been scheduled to be arraigned Thursday on a charge of second-degree murder, police said. His next court appearance is Monday, according to online court records.
The victim, Pharoh Boone, 20, was pronounced dead just before 11 p.m. April 3 at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, police said.
Details on what happened in the shooting and the arrests were not immediately available Wednesday night.
Iphael, 18, of Copiague Street, and Desrosiers, 21, of Rose Avenue, were expected back in court Friday. The names of their attorneys were not available Wednesday night.
