District Attorney Richard A. Brown says Shytique Kelly of Arverne, Queens, pleaded guilty to manslaughter on Monday.
The judge has indicated he’ll sentence Kelly to 25 years in prison.
A second defendant has pleaded guilty to hindering prosecution for driving Kelly to and from the crime scene.
Both will be sentenced on July 23.
