Teen Gets 20 Years for Binghamton Apartment Complex Shooting

A Binghamton teenager will be heading to state prison in connection with a deadly shooting on the city's North Side.

19-year-old Darius Palmer was taken into custody in the Bronx a few weeks after the incident at Town & Country Apartments. He had been wanted by Johnson City police on an unrelated warrant.

Binghamton detectives identified Palmer as the suspect in the September 30 shooting that resulted in the death of 41-year-old Tyrell Norris. The Town & Country resident sustained a gunshot wound to the head around 10:15 p.m. while sitting in his second-floor apartment.

Police said the gun had been fired during a disturbance in a parking lot outside Building Two.
