Chief of Detectives, Rodney Harrison said the 16-year-old was murdered in revenge slaying for his alleged role in the beatdown of a 15-year-old girl to steal her Air Jordans, Thursday.
Harrison said,
“We had a retaliation shooting in the 77 [Precinct] that stemmed from a young woman that was jumped and robbed by a group of boys."
“It’s all the stemming from crew-on-crew, gang-on-gang violence."Howard and his cohorts savagely jumped the unsuspecting girl as she writhed on the ground in pain, according to shocking footage from the March 5 incident.
One of the assailants grabbed the girl’s Air Jordan sneakers before the group ran off, the video shows.
Howard was arrested following the attack on the teen girl on March 5 and charged with robbery and gang assault. It is unclear specifically why he was released from jail with charges pending.
