A 37-year-old man from south Jamaica has been arrested for allegedly killing his father Tuesday night, according to Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown.
Anthony Guyton, has been charged with murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.
On Aug. 19 at about 10:25 p.m., Guyton allegedly fired a single shot at his father, 55-year-old Bruce Langley of Astoria, near the intersection of 143rd Street and 119th Avenue, said Brown.
Langley was shot in the chest as he sat in his Chevy Impala at an intersection a block away from Guyton’s home. According to the district attorney, police patrolling the area caught Guyton as he stood holding a 9 mm handgun next to his vehicle, a Dodge Charger, which was near the Chevy Impala.
Langley was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
“The alleged actions of the defendant are totally incomprehensible,” Brown said.
Guyton is awaiting arraignment in Queens Criminal Court. If convicted, he faces 25 years to life in prison.
