The family of a slain Brooklyn woman slammed her murderous ex-husband as a “dog” and a “moron” Wednesday as he was sentenced to 19 years behind bars for her shooting death.
Leroy Worrell, 52, was ripped into by the family of Kimberly Grant, 45 — his ex-wife and the mother of his two children — whom he was accused of gunning down outside her Brownsville apartment on Nov. 10, 2020.
“The dirt hasn’t been put over your grave yet, but that’s what I want… You’re a dog – lay with the dogs,” Grant’s aunt Theodora Gladden seethed at Worrell during the hearing in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
“Your kids heard you murder their mother,” Gladden said
Worrell pleaded guilty in April to a charge of manslaughter for Grant’s fatal shooting.
He told police around the time of his arrest that Grant was “an evil woman” who “turned everyone against him,” according to a law enforcement source.

“You’re a moron, you’re a loser, a murderer. I’m disgusted with you,” the 70-year-old woman said in a victim-impact statement to the court.
Starkes said Worrell’s son, Kevin, “wants nothing to do with you.”
“They are disgusted with you,” she said of Worrell’s kids. “You should be disgusted with yourself.”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry — I don’t know what else to say,” Worrell said.
