Steve Darbasie, a 44-year-old salesman, was sentenced Monday to six months behind bars after he very publicly went after witnesses on an anonymous but easily traceable social media profile in an apparent effort to protect his son Tammuz, according to authorities.

“Honest testimony is the bedrock of our criminal legal system, and when witnesses are harassed and intimidated, our ability to hold accountable those who commit violent acts suffers,” he continued.Darbasie had claimed that Tammuz — then 21 years-old — pulled the knife to defend himself that day in August 2020, when he stabbed Wigfall on the corner of 11th Avenue and West 54th Street just after 10 p.m.

Tammuz, now 24, pleaded to a first-degree manslaughter charge in April 2023 and was sentenced to five years in prison, according to the DA’s office and state prison records.His dad began posting video clips on the anonymous Instagram page around December 2022 that showed witnesses being interviewed by the cops — and identifying participants, Bragg said.
