According to the DA's office, on February 12, 2023, McBroom intentionally fired multiple shots at 21-year-old Jorge Garcia Leon while inside Club Marcella. Garcia Leon died at the scene, a 49-year-old man and a 59-year-old man were injured and taken to ECMC.
In July, McBroom pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree murder, two counts of second-degree attempted murder and one count of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
“This was a completely senseless, violent crime. This defendant snuck an illegal gun into a nightclub then intentionally fired multiple shots at the victims after a minor altercation. There was no reduced plea offered in this case. I hope that the family of Jorge Garcia Leon and the two survivors feel that justice has been served by this defendant pleading guilty to all counts and being sentenced to a significant term of incarceration."
- Acting District Attorney Mike Keane
