An alleged gang member in New York City was involved in three drive-by shootings just weeks after he was released without bail following an attempted murder arrest, according to reports.

Darrius Sutton, 23, was previously nabbed in connection with a shooting on May 16 in Brooklyn’s East New York, where Justice Department officials said he shot and seriously injured a man, according to the New York Daily News. He was reportedly charged with attempted murder, assault with intent to cause injury and criminal possession of a weapon.

You were right it was criticism of the new bail or lack there of system.

Well, look at the bright side: at least he wasn't exposed to Coronavirus while he was in jail. If he had been, he might have passed it on to who knows how many people?
