KEW GARDENS — An Elmont man was sentenced Tuesday to four years in prison on gun charges in connection with a St. Albans shooting, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.
Christopher Prince, 24, was acquitted last month in state Supreme Court in Kew Gardens of attempted murder charges, but convicted on the weapons counts relating to 2003 dispute with his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend, Brown said.
Prince is also facing a retrial later this year on charges he shot into a crowd of students on the St. John’s University campus in 2001, the district attorney said. Corey Mitchell, a linebacker for the Red Storm football team was shot in the back and paralyzed as a result of the incident, Brown said.
Two previous trials in state Supreme Court in Long Island City have ended in hung juries, and Prince is due back in court in September, Brown said.
