Rapper Kay Flock, real name Kevin Perez, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for a series of shootings in his Bronx neighborhood. The 22-year-old's burgeoning music career was abruptly halted following his 2021 arrest.

U.S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman sentenced Perez, criticizing him for glorifying violence and sending the wrong message to young peers. Prosecutors detailed a brutal 18-month period from 2020 to 2021, which left dozens in the Bronx shot, injured or killed.
