The Queens district attorney said after nearly a decade of searching and prosecution, the families of two  men can now have justice.

A Queens Supreme Court judge sentenced yesterday Danny Williams, 34, of Jamaica, to half a century in prison for the second degree murder of Roshan Tate and attempted murder of Mark Belizaire, the DA said.

On May 28, 2002, Williams and Reginald Artis, who were armed with a handgun and a shotgun, approached Tate and Belizaire just after midnight near 87th Avenue and 148th Street and opened fire, Brown said.

The defendants were robbed earlier that day and thought their victims were responsible for the robbery, but they were not the culprits, according to Brown. Tate died at the scene while Belizaire was wounded in his leg and is now disabled, the DA said.

Williams and Artis fled the scene but a year later cops arrested Artis. He pleaded guilty to a weapons charge in 2006 and was sentenced to nine years in prison in 2008, Brown said.

Williams was still on the loose for several years and the case was recounted on “America’s Most Wanted” twice, the DA said.

On July 19, 2010, the NYPD fugitive task force caught Williams in New Jersey and extradited him back to Queens for his jury trial.
