NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A 26-year-old Bronx man pleaded guilty Friday to narcotics and firearm charges after prosecutors accused him of selling crack cocaine and shooting a member of a rival drug crew.

Rakim Brown's brother was shot and paralyzed by a member of a rival group of drug dealers in 2017.


On Jan. 28, 2018, Brown chased down a member of that crew and cornered her in a Bronx apartment building lobby, where he beat and shot her multiple times.

He pleaded guilty to narcotics conspiracy and  using a firearm for a drug trafficking crime to a federal judge in Manhattan.

Brown faces a potential lifetime sentence and a minimum of 10 years in prison.
