A Queens man who fought to have his murder conviction overturned in a stray bullet killing a decade ago is once again behind bars, now facing charges stemming from a shooting death in 2023.
Capers, just 16 years old at the time, was sentenced in 2014 to 15 years to life in prison for Robinson's killing. But Capers was later set free in 2022, after the main witness in the case, a jailed gang member, was recorded lying about Capers' involvement in exchange for a lighter sentence in his own separate case.Robinson's family was not fully convinced Capers was innocent.
A Queens grand jury indicted Capers on attempted murder in Taylor's shooting death, District Attorney Melinda Katz said. He also faces gun possession and reckless endangerment charges.Katz said in a statement that it is important to distinguish the difference between the two cases Capers has been connected to."In the case of D’aja Robinson’s murder, an exhaustive investigation and newly discovered evidence led us to conclude that Shamel Capers had been wrongfully convicted.
