The man who allegedly shot and killed a 14-year-old Queens girl as she was riding a city bus was caught in South Carolina and arrested, the Queens District Attorney’s office announced Tuesday.

Kevin McClinton, 21, has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of D’aja Robinson on May 18.

Robinson was sitting near the rear of a Q6 bus in Jamaica on her way home from a Sweet 16 party when McClinton allegedly fired multiple shots toward the bus, aiming for another individual. One of the bullets pierced the window and struck Robinson in the neck. She was taken to an area hospital, where she was pronounced dead, according to a statement from the D.A.’s office.

“The death of this young, talented 14-year-old is a senseless tragedy and another painful example of the mindless gun-related violence that too often takes innocent lives,” District Attorney Richard Brown said.

McClinton will be extradited to New York. He is also charged with reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon. He faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted.

A veteran NYPD detective and former bodyguard to Mayor Michael Bloomberg was convicted of attempted murder yesterday in connection with the off-duty shooting of an unarmed man, according to the Queens District Attorney’s office.

Leopold McLean, 48, approached Lepaul Gammons, 39, in the vicinity of 119th Road and 153rd Street in South Jamaica around 12:30 a.m. on November 15, 2010 and demanded to know why he was at that location–the home of a woman that they both knew.

McLean then pointed a black handgun at Gammons. When Gammons tried to run from the location, McLean began firing the gun and shot Gammons in the buttocks. McLean continued to shoot until Gammons finally got into his car and drove off.

Gammons is the ex-boyfriend of McLean’s girlfriend, according to news reports.

“This is truly a sad day for everyone when a police officer is convicted of breaking the very laws he had sworn to uphold,” said District Attorney Richard Brown. “But in the pursuit of justice, nobody is above the law. The defendant must now bear responsibility for his actions.”

McLean, who has been a member of the NYPD for 19 years, has been convicted of second-degree attempted murder and first-and second-degree reckless endangerment. He faces a mandatory minimum of five years in prison and a maximum of 25 years in prison, according to the Queens DA’s office.

Police have arrested a 25-year-old man for sexually assaulting two 7-year-old girls in the South Ozone Park section of Queens last week.

Lee Samuel allegedly approached his first victim May 1 while she was tying her shoe on the sidewalk and tapped her on her buttocks, according to the Queens District Attorney’s office.

A few hours later on the same day, Samuel allegedly approached his second victim in front of her home and asked her if she wanted to play a game. Samuel then told the girl to cover her eyes with her hands and stick out her tongue. When the girl uncovered her eyes, she saw that Samuel had exposed himself. He then grabbed her by the waist and engaged in a sexual act with the child.

Samuel is charged with forcible touching and endangering the welfare of a child in the first incident and first-degree criminal sexual act and endangering the welfare of a child in the second incident.

“The defendant is accused of being a sexual predator. Such an allegation makes him a threat to children and a clear and present danger to society in general. Such conduct, if proven true, cannot go unpunished,” said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.

Samuel faces up to 25 years in prison if he is convicted.

A Queens teenager has been charged in the beating of a 16-year-old girl with a brick, which left her clinging to life in a Queens alley last Tuesday.

Prodromos Vasilopoulos, of Athens, Greece, was trying to board a flight to London after he attacked his former girlfriend inside her Jamaica, Queens apartment earlier this week, according to the Queens District Attorney’s office.

He allegedly jolted her with the stun gun and then shoved his fingers in her mouth to stop her from screaming. He then took her to her bedroom and placed a pillow over her face to stop her from breathing before sexually assaulting her.

The suspect also allegedly made 200 calls and text messages to the victim between Feb. 16 and Feb. 21 in which he threatened to make her pay for breaking up with him.
