Gravesend Man Convicted In 2013 Marlboro Houses Double Shooting

A Gravesend man has been convicted of murder and attempted murder for the 2013 fatal shooting of a man inside the Marlboro Houses in Gravesend, which left another man with a gunshot wound to the arm, announced Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson today.

Trial testimony revealed that Tremaine Holmes, 33, fired multiple shots at point blank range at 11:55pm on August 15, 2013, hitting Perice Brown and also striking Taleeb Maxime inside 30 Avenue V, the DA said. Holmes then chased Darryl Brown, firing multiple shots outside the building. Perice died from his injuries.

“This defendant chose to settle a score with a gun and senselessly took a life. He will now have many years to spend in a prison cell and think about the foolishness of his choice,” Thompson said.

The defendant and Perice lived in the same building and were known to each other. He was apprehended two months later in Binghamton, NY.

Holmes will be sentenced on January 4, 2016 at which time he faces a maximum sentence of 40 years to life in prison.
