One
week after 11-year-old Khyara Tay was shot and killed in Longwood, police
have made a second arrest in the fatal shooting incident.
Omar
Bojang, 18, reportedly turned himself in Monday. It comes
exactly seven days Tay was struck and killed by a stray bullet.
Bojang
was taken out of the 41st Precinct by officers a few
hours after reportedly turning himself in. Police allege that Bojang
was the driver of the moped that carried Matthew Godwin, the alleged
shooter of 11-year-old Khyana Tay.
Police
say that the intended target of the gunshot was a 13-year-old.
In
Parkchester, a portion of a funeral home was gated off for the family and
friends of Khyana Tay so they could pay their respects in
privacy. Media was not allowed inside, but police commissioner Keechant
Sewell and Mayor Eric Adams were in attendance.
The
wake for Khyara Tay will continue Tuesday.
Bojang has been charged with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon.
