A New York man found guilty of murdering his pregnant ex-girlfriend in front of her children claimed during his sentencing that his “constitutional rights” were being violated.

In a press release from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Justin Soriano, 43, was found guilty in November 2024 of murdering 31-year-old Shanice Young. Young was more than eight months pregnant and returning home from her baby shower after midnight on Sept. 12, 2021, when Soriano arrived on a motorcycle with a loaded gun, his face covered and wearing latex gloves. Soriano then chased Young’s current boyfriend around the apartment building in the presence of four children, including Young’s 6- and 15-year-old daughters. He was then confronted by Young outside the building and shot her three times in the face at close range, hitting her twice.
