Nakwon Foxworth Sentenced To 110 Years For Shooting Three Cops In Nostrand Apartment Building

A judge yesterday slapped Sheepshead Bay resident Nakwon Foxworth, 36, with a 110-year prison sentence for shooting at five cops, wounding three of them, after holing up in his Nostrand Avenue apartment with his pregnant girlfriend.

“This convicted felon could have killed those five brave police officers who literally risked their lives to save a woman and her 10-month-old child. He’s not fit to remain in our society and deserves the sentence that he got today,” said District Attorney Ken Thompson.

Foxworth was deemed a persistent violent felony offender after being convicted last month of two counts of aggravated assault upon a police officer, three counts of attempted aggravated assault upon a police officer, three counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, one count of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and one count of second-degree menacing.

While being hauled from the courtroom last month, Foxworth hurled insults at the men in blue who showed to watch the proceedings, shouting at them to “Suck my d-ck.”

The violent episode on April 8, 2012, was triggered after moving men left items in the hallway of his 3301 Nostrand Avenue apartment building. Foxworth got into an argument with the movers and flashed a gun. When cops were called, he holed up in his apartment with his pregnant girlfriend and their 10-month-old son.

As cops stood outside the door for approximately an hour,Foxworth traded texts with a friend in an exchange the prosecution described as a desperate man prepping for his last stand.

“Yo homie I ain’t going back behind that wallman. F– this,” he texted moments before police barged into the apartment.

His girlfriend and child had just escaped the apartment when Foxworth opened fire on the police, injuring three of them. His defense claimed cops fired first.

With three cops on the ground, Foxworth was ultimately stopped by a bullet to the abdomen.
