Authorities said Tuesday that the person was being questioned in Brooklyn over the shooting in the hours before the West Indian Day Parade.
Two people were killed early Monday despite an expanded police presence at the annual pre-dawn festivities.
A 17-year-old boy was shot in the chest. Soon afterward, a 22-year-old woman was shot in the head just a block away.
J’ouvert is held before the parade steps off and fills the streets with music for hours.
Where is all the outrage in the black community? Where are all the protests from the BLM movement?? Why are blacks free to kill other blacks? Is black blood cheaper when perpetrators are also black?
