18h agoCommunity leaders and elected officials returned to the
scene of the shooting that left a woman dead and her
brother injured in Fordham last week.
On Wednesday around 11:30
p.m., Maurice Diop and his sister Katherine got into an argument over music
playing from a bodega with another person. That person started to walk away
before turning around and opening fire – hitting both siblings.
While Maurice survived, his 29-year-old sister did not. She
was pronounced dead at St. Barnabas Hospital with a gunshot wound to her torso.
Maurice and Katherine had
been celebrating the graduation of another one of their
siblings that day.
So far, Maurice has not been able to give police any
description of the suspect. Officials are asking anyone with information to
come forward.
During a news conference Monday morning, Mayor Bill de
Blasio announced that the maximum reward for Crime Stopper tips had increased
from $2,500 to $3,500. They can be reached at 1-800-577-TIPS. All calls are
anonymous.
