HOLLIS — A teen faces up to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty to the shocking 2011 shooting of a newlywed during a botched robbery, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.
Ian Green, 19, pleaded guilty Tuesday to manslaughter, robbery and weapons charges related to the shooting of 23-year-old Rabia Mohammed in March 2011, Brown said.
Mohammed and her husband, who had been wed only five short months, were walking at about 8:30 p.m. March 13, 2011, when they were approached from behind by Green and three alleged accomplices, Brown said.
Two of the other teenagers allegedly threw Mohammed’s husband to the ground as Green struggled to take her purse, the DA said. Green pulled out a 9mm pistol and fired one fatal shot into her chest, Brown said.
Supreme Court Justice Richard Buchter indicated he would sentence Green to 25 years in jail June 17, the DA added.
Green’s suspected accomplices were awaiting trial on second-degree murder and other charges involved in the shooting incident, Brown said.
