Webb
KINGSTON – A second man accused in the shooting death of a patron
at a New Paltz bar last Easter Sunday, was arraigned in Ulster County
Court on Friday.
Taquan “Tay” Webb was indicted on a charge of murder as an
accomplice in the killing of Ryan Gray, 29, of Poughkeepsie on April 20,
2014.
Another man, Basheem Bennett, 21, of Poughkeepsie, pled guilty to murder
in December and awaits sentencing.
At the time of the arrests, authorities said it was believed the murder
was in retaliation to the killing of Alvin Hayles, which occurred in Poughkeepsie
during October 2013.
Gray’s 26-year-old girlfriend, who was with him in the bar when
he was shot to death, was wounded in the incident at Murphy’s Bar.
