A Bronx man was arrested in connection with the killing of Jessica White, who was fatally shot while trying to protect her children just over a year ago.
White, 29, was killed shielding her three children from gunfire in a park. Her mother told News 12 last year that a man wearing a ski mask approached the playground where the kids were sitting and opened fire.
Authorities say they believe the shooter is 24-year-old Steven Siri Reynoso, who was indicted on a federal charge of murder through use of a firearm in connection to a crime of violence. If convicted, he could face life in prison.
White's mother, who didn't wish to appear on camera, says she is still processing all that's happened leading up to the arrest. Neighbors say they are hoping for justice for White's family.
