Alphonso Joyner Sentenced to 65 Years for 2021 Chinatown Killing of Woom Sing Tse

Surveillance footage combined with forensic tests linked him to a daylight ghost gun attack.

Overview

  • Judge Domenica Stephenson sentenced Joyner, 27, to 65 years following his October first-degree murder conviction.
  • Prosecutors said he used a homemade ghost gun with an extended magazine to fire 26 rounds, including close-range shots after exiting his car.
  • Surveillance video supplied within minutes by the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce helped police track his car to the Kennedy Expressway for a quick arrest.
  • Officers recovered a firearm from his vehicle, matched shell casings to it, and detected gunshot residue on his hands.
  • His attorneys have filed an appeal contending the sentence is excessive.
