A Wyandanch man who admitted to shooting another man outside Jake's 58 is now facing sentencing in the case. The shooting, which left his victim badly hurt, has moved through the courts to the point where the consequences for the gunman are set to be decided.
The man at the center of the case has been identified as Nashon Legros. Rather than going to trial, he resolved the charges against him by entering a guilty plea, acknowledging his role in the attack.
The plea was to a serious charge. Legros pleaded guilty to attempted murder, a charge that reflects the gravity of the shooting and the harm it caused to the man who was hit.
The shooting itself took place outside Jake's 58. According to the account of the case, the attack happened there two years ago, and it is that incident that ultimately led to the charge Legros admitted to.
The man who was shot has been named as Stefan Bumpers. He survived the shooting, but his injuries were severe enough that he needed emergency surgery in its aftermath.
With the guilty plea entered, the case has reached its final stage. Legros is expected to be sentenced, the step at which the court will determine the punishment for the crime he admitted committing.
The outcome closes a case that began with a violent attack outside Jake's 58 and left a man needing emergency care. For Bumpers, who survived, and for Legros, who admitted the shooting, the sentencing marks the conclusion of the legal process that followed that night.
