DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Evidence of uncharged crimes was properly admitted to complete the narrative and to explain why the defendant was targeted (see,People v. Coleman, 205 A.D.2d 795, 796 ; People v. Campbell, 204 A.D.2d 474).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80 ).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review, without merit, or do not require reversal.
