Overview
- Prosecutors announced Tuesday that 26‑year‑old Isaac Argro was sentenced to 25 years to life in state prison for the 2022 killing of Azsia Johnson.
- Authorities say Argro lured Johnson to East 95th Street on June 29, 2022 by claiming he had items for their three‑month‑old and then shot her at point‑blank range while she pushed the stroller.
- A New York State Supreme Court jury convicted Argro on May 28, 2026 of second‑degree murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.
- Prosecutors presented evidence that Argro wore a ski mask, discarded his clothing after the shooting, called Johnson’s family about the child afterward, and threatened another acquaintance.
- The infant was not physically harmed, family members and local supporters have continued to hold vigils and memorials at the site, and prosecutors said the sentence provides legal accountability though it cannot undo the loss to the children and family.
