BROOKLYN, NEW YORK - A murderer out on parole got 10 years in federal prison Wednesday after copping to a pair of attempted Brooklyn store robberies in which he shot a cashier in the leg and slashed a clerk’s face.
Mitchell Bostic, 52, was linked to one of those stickups, a Jan. 4, 2023, heist and shooting at a store on Van Sinderen Ave., through his distinctive red-and-white sneakers.
Bostic spent 26 years for the Nov. 24, 1992, shooting murder of a man in the Brownsville Houses on Sutter Ave., and since 2019 had been out on lifetime parole when he committed the robberies.
“You committed violent crimes while on lifetime parole for another violent crime, the murder of another human being,” U.S. District Court Orelia Merchant told Bostic Wednesday before handing down the sentence.
Bostic has already served 18 months of the sentence at the MDC Brooklyn jail while awaiting prosecution, and he still faces the prospect of being locked up on a parole violation once he’s served his federal time.
