encoded: BRONX HALL OF Justice Photo by Síle Moloney Bronx District Attorney (DA) Darcel D. Clark and Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch announced May 20 that four men have been indicted in a firearms trafficking conspiracy in which nine guns were sold to an undercover police officer out of a building in the Concourse section of the Bronx. One of the guns was a .300 Blackout semi-automatic rifle. Clark said that the defendants, Junior Alvarado, 29, Brandon Suero, 29, Erick Martinez, 24, all of The Bronx, and Tajamar Daishah Hyatt, 29, of Florida, were variously charged in a 51-count indictment with criminal sale of a firearm, conspiracy, criminal sale of a controlled substance, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminal possession of a firearm, rifle or shotgun in a sensitive location; and possession of ammunition. “These defendants allegedly provided high-powered pistols, and a semi-automatic rifle that fires ammunition suited for hunting and close-range combat,” the district attorney said. “They allegedly brought a loaded gun into a playground. We will not tolerate such wanton disregard for public safety, and I applaud the NYPD undercovers who risk their lives to stop gun traffickers.” According to the investigation by Narcotics Borough Bronx and the Bronx DA’s special investigations bureau, from July 2, 2025 to Nov. 6, 2025, NYPD detectives conducted a series of undercover purchases of guns, narcotics, and controlled substances from Alvarado on East Clarke Place in the Concourse neighborhood.

Further investigation revealed Suero, Hyatt and Martinez allegedly provided some of the guns for Alvarado to sell. Prosecutors allege in one incident, on July 7, 2025, the parties met at about 6.30 p.m. in a playground area on East Clarke Place, where Hyatt allegedly had a black bac…
