Bronx prosecutors charged both Donald Johnson, 20, and his older brother Rakell Hampton, 33, with murder, manslaughter, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon at their arraignments in Bronx Criminal Court.
Juana Esperanza Soriano De-Perdomo, 61, was on her way home from work and had just stopped at a store when she found herself in the middle of a gang feud outside a Fordham Heights bodega.
The victim, 61, was standing in front of Mayssa Fordham Deli just after 7 p.m. when a group of men nearby at Creston Ave. and E. 188th St. started arguing.
