Two Queens teens were arrested after they were caught on surveillance camera fatally shooting another teen execution-style early Friday morning. Sean Barnhill, 19, and Alexander Burgess, 16, were charged with murder and and weapons possession for allegedly shooting 18-year-old Daryl Adams in the Jamaica Houses. Below, you can see the two teens chase down an already-wounded Adams; undercover police chase them seconds after the teens fatally shot him.
Since that shooting, police have connected Burgess and Barnhill with several other recent shootings: Burgess has been charged with attempted murder, assault and weapons charges for allegedly shooting a 22-year-old man in Jamaica on Feb. 25, and Barnhill was charged with attempted murder, robbery and weapons charges for allegedly shooting a 23-year-old man during an attempted robbery in Rosedale on March 1.
A search warrant obtained in connection with the investigation of the Jamaica Houses shooting led to a raid on a Rosedale home that led to 11 arrests of people between the ages of 14 and 20, and five confiscated guns. All 11 were charged with criminal possession of a weapon. You can see a picture of those weapons below.
