BROOKLYN — Police have charged two men with murder in connection to a drug-related shooting last year that left one man dead and another wounded in a Gravesend apartment. 

Ernest Jones, 34, and Colyn Needham, 28, were charged with murder, attempted robbery, assault and criminal possession of a weapon for their roles in the fatal shooting of Galvin Becerra, 26, and another man inside 2003 Stillwell Ave., near Avenue T, on May 26, 2015, police said.

The suspected gunman, Bryan Panarella, 24, was arrested last year on the same charges, the NYPD said.

He’s currently being held on Rikers Island without bail, according to the Department of Correction

Jones, of Bed-Stuy, and Needham, of the Lower East Side, were awaiting arraignment Wednesday.
