Stamford teen to be deported after serving prison sentence for drive-by shooting

STAMFORD — A second man involved in a 2016 drive-by shooting in the Cove that grazed a father and narrowly missed his sleeping child will likely be deported after serving three and a half years in jail.

Reynerio Barrientos, 19, pleaded guilty this week to attempted first-degree assault and carrying a pistol without a permit.

According to police, Shicquane Hackeem Narine and Barrientos, who was 17 at the time, used two guns and a rifle to shoot up a Ranson Street home on May 30, 2016.

Police said bullets and shards of glass flew through the front bedroom window of an apartment. A bullet grazed the arm of a father sleeping in bed, but the child was unharmed.

Police said they were driving a stolen Audi that was involved in a police chase a few days later in Greenwich. Barrientos was arrested after they crashed the stolen car and Narine was picked up a few days later. They have been jailed since their arrests.

Police informants said some West Side gang members, including Narine, were feuding at the time with another group from Spruce Street and the two were trying to shoot up a rival’s home, but ended up targeting the wrong residence.

Supervisory Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Paul Ferencek said he expects Barrientos to be deported after serving his 42 months in jail. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 8.

In April, Narine pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree larceny for stealing the cars and attempted armed robbery, risk of injury to a child, possession of a pistol without a permit and attempted first-degree assault.

He will be sentenced to eight years in jail and seven years special parole when he returns to court on Tuesday.
