DA: Man Indicted in Fatal Long Beach Shooting

A man was arraigned Wednesday on charges that he fatally shot a man outside a Long Beach housing project in September, according to the Nassau County District Attorney’s office.

Antonio Webb, 22, of Long Beach, was indicted for second-degree murder and three counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon before Judge Teresa Corrigan, the DA said.

“Everyone in Nassau County has a right to live, go to work and raise a family without the threat of gun violence,” said DA Kathleen Rice in a statement. “The Channel Park community and local law enforcement united in action when this tragic murder happened and we will continue to fight to secure justice.”

At 12:40 a.m. on Sept. 27, Webb allegedly shot Tyrenzo Brown, 28, of Long Beach, the DA said. Police responded minutes later and found Brown with multiple gunshot wounds, according to Nassau County Police. Brown was rushed to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries at the hospital, cops said.

Webb was charged days later with Brown’s murder, cops said.

If convicted, Webb faces 25 years to life in prison, the DA said. He is scheduled to return to court Jan. 20.
