p. 857The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Angel Cordero-Vasquez, Appellant. [696 NYS2d 914]
—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him following a jury trial of assault in the first degree (Penal Law §§ 20.00, 120.10 [1]). We reject defendant’s contention that the verdict is not supported by legally sufficient evidence. The evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620 , 621), could lead a rational trier of fact to conclude that defendant shot at the victim and acted in concert with the other shooter (see, People v Cabey, 85 NY2d 417 , 421).
