Nyc gay bar drugging

A sick trio were sentenced Wednesday to decades in prison over a Big Apple gay bar drugging scheme that left two men dead. Jayqwan Hamilton, 37, Jacob Barroso, 32, and Robert DeMaio, 36, were handed the sentences by a Manhattan judge for facilitating the years-long fentanyl-wielding robbery plot.

It was intentional. It was an act of greed and it was evil. If anything, they will just come out worse and take more innocent lives. These men are a threat to society, they are dangerous.

3 men sentenced to decades in prison for fatal New York gay bar drugging scheme

Hamilton and DeMaio were both given sentences of 40 years to life, while Barroso was handed a 20 year sentence. The trio kicked off their ghoulish campaign back in March by chatting up inebriated men, knocking them out with their lethal chemical cocktails and then robbing them blind, prosecutors said during the trial.

Two of the perps had approached Ramirez outside The Ritz bar in Manhattan in April of before convincing him to get in a cab with them. After giving him cocaine laced with fentanyl, prosecutors said the defendants drained his bank accounts and went on a wild shopping spree — leaving their young victim for dead in the cab.

They then hit up Umberger the following month outside The Q NYC before going back to his townhouse to carry on their crime spree. He was drugged, robbed and left alone in the back of a cab like his life meant nothing. You are viewing 1 of 7 images Previous Image Next Image.
