An accused shooter tied to Monday’s West Indian Day Parade violence had been out on bail at the time — because a lefty judge ignored prosecutors’ pleas to lock him up over an attempted-slay rap just a month ago.

Nayshawn Wilkinson, 19, was hauled out of the 77th Precinct in Brooklyn on Tuesday — wearing a shirt with the Nike slogan “JUST DO IT” on it — to head to court to face the new attempted-murder charges.

Wilkinson was already supposed to have been in court Tuesday for a hearing on his alleged prior attempted-murder shooting, in which a 15-year-old boy was struck by a bullet in front of a playground in July.

But even if Wilkinson had planned to show up for that hearing, he couldn’t — because he was busted again for the latest violence.

“Are we even surprised at this point?” a disgusted law-enforcement source told The Post on Tuesday.

“This is proof of what happens when you let shooters back on the street,” the source said. “Another bite at the apple, and someone is shot this time.

“At 19 years old, there’s a demonstrated lack of fear for the consequences of violating the terms of his release.“

The teen allegedly had shot a 24-year-old man in the butt Monday afternoon near the corner of St. Johns Place and Nostrand Avenue around the parade route.

It was not clear if the victim was his intended target, but the shot man has no prior arrests, law-enforcement sources said.

Wilkinson has been charged with attempted murder for shooting someone at the West Indian American Day Parade.

Wilkinson had been on the streets despite being busted for the previous shooting only a month ago.

That’s when the teen menace appeared before Brooklyn Criminal Court Judge Janice Robinson for allegedly firing a gun twice at a 15-year-old boy in front of the Callahan-Kelly playground in Brownsville on July 22, according to the criminal complaint.

The victim in that shooting suffered a bullet wound to the foot, which required surgery.

Janice Robinson was elected to the bench in 2024 and took a seat in the borough’s civil court on Jan. 1, 2025.

A 22-caliber bullet fragment was recovered from the young victim’s foot, prosecutors said at the time.

Wilkinson was charged with attempted murder, assault and gun charges in the case — and prosecutors begged the judge to remand him.

The reputed soft-on-crime judge instead granted the alleged gunman $5,000 bail or $10,000 bond Aug. 4 — and he posted it and was released

Wilkinson was supposed to then appear in a Brooklyn court Tuesday to listen as prosecutors announced they had indicted him on attempted-murder charges in the July shooting. But he was already in police custody for the parade shooting, sources told The Post.

Robinson, the Brooklyn-born daughter of Jamaican immigrants, was elected to the bench in 2024 and took a seat in the borough’s civil court Jan. 1, 2025, according to records.

The judge quickly gained a reputation for going easy on accused criminals such as Wilkinson — and most recently refusing to set bail for another alleged gun-wielding man accused of trying to kill another guy and wounding a service dog.

Wilkinson, 19, allegedly shot a 24-year-old man in the butt near the West Indian Day Parade route Monday.

In that case, alleged gunman Adrian Benitez, 29, allegedly opened fire during a spat with another man, and a stray bullet struck Honey, a 7-year-old Labradoodle service dog for a woman with Down syndrome, police had said.

Prosecutors in the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office asked the judge to hold Benitez on $150,000 bail — but Robinson decided to release him and make him promise he’d return back to court for his next hearing Nov. 24.

A case study by The Post examining 13 defendants’ arraignments before the judge showed more than half of the defendants — or eight — were able to leave the courthouse without bail, including two charged with attempted murder. The five remaining defendants faced low bail, which they were able to post.

Robinson is the niece of Nick Perry, a Democrat who served in the state Assembly nearly 30 years representing parts of East Flatbush, Canarsie and Brownsville and later served briefly as US ambassador to Jamaica.

The judge is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, the first black sorority, and spent the first 20 years of her legal career as a lawyer for insurance companies before turning to politics.

Wilkinson is awaiting arraignment over Monday’s shooting.

He is charged with attempted murder and other charges over the parade shooting.
