YANG
Two Bronx men who allegedly showed no mercy before gunning down a young MoMA chef to steal his iPhone got a taste of their own medicine yesterday — no bail.
Dominick Davis, 20, and Alejandro Campos, 21, allegedly shot Hwangbum Yang, 26, in the chest as he walked home from work on April 19 at about 12:30 a.m.
Charged with murder, robbery, gun possession and possession of stolen property, they are due back in court on May 2.
Davis, the alleged shooter, has two felony convictions in New York and one in New Jersey, according to the Bronx District Attorney’s Office.
Campos, the alleged getaway driver, has no priors — which prompted public defender Martin Calvin to claim that his client was a good kid in the wrong place at the wrong time.
“He said he didn’t know anything about a gun,” said Calvin. “He’s just devastated about what happened. He’s maintained his innocence.”
Yang, who had worked the night shift at MoMA for three months, was mugged on Cambridge Avenue and West 232nd Street in Riverdale.
Davis and Campos were caught after posting the jacked iPhone for sale on Craigslist for $400, investigators said.
But Calvin noted that Campos holds down a full-time job with a cable company, earning $1,000 a week.
“He has lived at the same address with his family for 14 years,” the lawyer added. “[This is] someone at the wrong address at the wrong time who has no record.”
Four relatives who showed up to support Campos left abruptly after the arraignment.
