A Brooklyn man was convicted today of first-degree murder for shooting a 16-year-old girl to stop her from pressing assault charges against his friend.

Kendale Robinson, 21, shot teen Al-Taya Conyers three times on a Boerum Hill street in 2010, then stood over her, prosecutors said.

“As she lay on the ground she cried for mercy,” assistant district attorney Tim Gough said during the Brooklyn Supreme Court trial.

“[Robinson] took that handgun and pointed it at Al-Taya Conyers head and pulled the trigger three more times.”

Robinson was charged with first-degree murder because Conyers was a witness to a crime when she was killed. He could get up to life in prison when he is sentenced.

A separate jury will continue deliberations tomorrow on co-defendant Ronell Bonds, who is charged with witness tampering for his alleged role in the murder.
