Two Convicted Felons Charged With Federal Firearms Violations in Connection With Brooklyn Gunfight
A criminal complaint was filed charging Edynesson Bauduy and Aaron Richard with federal firearms violations relating to an August 12, 2025 gunfight in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. Both defendants were arrested and Richard made his initial appearance this afternoon before United States Magistrate Judge Seth D. Eichenholtz. Richard was ordered detained pending trial. Bauduy will be arraigned at a later date.
Joseph Nocella, Jr., United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Christopher G. Raia, Assistant Director in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office (FBI), and Jessica S. Tisch, Commissioner, New York City Police Department (NYPD) announced the arrests and charges.
"As alleged, these defendants are convicted felons who engaged in a dangerous gunfight on a busy Brooklyn street in broad daylight, endangering the lives of numerous citizens,†said United States Attorney Nocella. "Both defendants had been released from prison earlier this year. Despite repeated encounters with our criminal justice system, each defendant chose to return to the streets to engage in brazen acts of violence. Today's arrests demonstrate our continued commitment to working with our law enforcement partners to combat gun violence and hold accountable those who illegally possess firearms and endanger our communities.â€
Mr. Nocella thanked the U.S. Marshals Service Regional Fugitive Task Force for their valuable assistance on the case.
"Edynesson Bauduy and Aaron Richard allegedly engaged in a public gunfight despite their previous criminal convictions barring them from possessing firearms. These convicted felons allegedly continued to wreak havoc in our community and posed an unnecessary threat to innocent bystanders. These successful Operation Summer Heat arrests emphasizes the FBI's steadfast commitment to collaborating with our law enforcement partners to crush all violent crime disrupting the safety of our city," stated FBI Assistant Director in Charge Raia.
As alleged in the criminal complaint, on August 12, 2025, at approximately 7:25 p.m., NYPD officers on patrol in the 70th Precinct heard gunshots and immediately responded near 533 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush, Brooklyn. When officers arrived, they observed a gunfight in progress between Bauduy and Richard.
Police recovered a firearm that had been used by Bauduy and shell casings from where Richard fired his weapon. Both defendants have prior felony convictions that prohibit them from possessing firearms or ammunition. Richard was released from prison in April of this year; Bauduy was released from prison in June.
The charges in the complaint are allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. If convicted, each defendant faces up to 15 years in prison.
