Rogers, a West Brighton resident, was given parole in June after serving three years of a five-year sentence for a shooting on June 8, 2019. According to the Staten Island Advance, Rogers shot a man, age 29, leaving “holes” in the man’s intestines. The shooting occurred near a playground near Rogers’ West Brighton house.
After Rogers’ sentence, his defense attorney Lou Gelormino stated his client was taking classes in prison to get a certificate in construction “so he can get a good career when he is freed,” as reported by the Advance.
Rogers, then 18 years old, was arrested in February 2015 for allegedly punching and robbing a man in a Staten Island Subway. After questioning the 23-year-old victim if he was with the “OS” gang, he and three others allegedly attacked him.
