Man convicted of killing small child

BROOKLYN – The Kings County District Attorney’s office announced the conviction of General Waiters, 38, who shot several people at a family gathering in May 2006, killing a three-year-old girl.

Waiters was convicted of Murder in Second Degree, Attempted Murder in the Second Degree and two counts of Assault in the First Degree. When he is sentenced June 2, he faces a maximum of life in prison.

May 7, 2006, Waiters drew a .357 revolver and opened fire at a gathering of his girlfriend, Jacqueline Warren’s family, killing Warren’s three-year-old niece, Tajmere Clark.

Waiters also shot Warren’s aunt, Mary Lee Clark – Tajmere Clark’s grandmother – twice, putting her into a coma, which she remains in today. And he shot two of Warren’s children in the leg.
