The Issue

On September 18th, 2015, my brother Michael Nolan was tragically gunned down in a Burger King parking lot. He was an innocent bystander caught in a senseless act of violence with an illegal gun. His murderers tore our family apart, leaving a void that can never truly be filled. One of the individuals responsible for this horrific crime is Tejmitra Singh, who was found guilty of planning the shooting that ended my brother's life.

Tejmitra Singh was sentenced to 12 years in prison for his role in the murder of my brother. Despite this, New York State's criminal law permits individuals to seek early release after serving 80% of their sentence based on 'good behavior.' This means Tejmitra Singh could soon be eligible for parole as soon as October, a possibility that deeply concerns many.

Tejmitra Singh is a violent criminal who played a pivotal role in orchestrating the murder of my innocent brother . Granting him early release would not only undermine the justice served for Michael but also pose a potential threat to the community at large. It sends a dangerous message that those who partake in heinous crimes can cut their sentences short without facing the full consequences.

Giving "good behavior" a precedence over justice and accountability in such serious cases is troubling. Michael Nolan was robbed of his future due to the actions of individuals like Singh, and it is unjust to allow them a shortened sentence at the cost of victims' families' peace and security. Michael was unfortunately not given the opportunity to come back after serving 80 percent of his time, Singh should serve every single day that he is supposed to behind bars.

We call upon the New York States Parole Board to consider the severity of Singh's crime and deny any possibility of an early release. Michael deserves justice, and our community deserves safety. Please stand with us and sign this petition to ensure he serves his full sentence and does not get out on parole. Your signature can make a difference in honoring Michael’s memory and maintaining justice.
