Man involved in Upper West Side robbery and attempted shooting of officers gets sent to prison

A man was sentenced Monday for his role in a 2023 Upper West Side armed robbery that ended with shots being fired at police.

Oliver Richardson was sentenced Monday to three years behind bars for his role in a 2023 Upper West Side armed robbery that ended in shots being fired at police.

With the boy still in his arms, court records indicated, the trio pointed firearms at the victim, leading to a struggle. Amidst the chaos, McFadden’s gun fired, narrowly missing the child’s head and striking a nearby car. After stopping their car, cops said, the trio of suspects took off on foot, scaling a nearby fence in a desperate getaway attempt.

McFadden, however, took things further and fired at police during the foot pursuit before he was ultimately apprehended, earning him an attempted murder charge. A nearby playground was brimming with children at the time.
