A Bronx man has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for fatally shooting a customer and wounding two others outside of a Taco Bell in Mount Hope. Police say 28-year-old Edison Cruz, who worked at the restaurant, fired multiple shots following an argument with 31-year-old David Scott back in 2022. The district attorney called the fatal shooting "senseless" and vicious adding the sentence brings justice to the victims. Cruz was found guilty by a jury this past July.
