A 22-year-old Saint Lucian man who lives in New York, was shot dead on a Brooklyn street early Friday, several New York media publications have reported.
Terrell Henry was fatally shot in the neck and torso at around 1:50 a.m. as he walked out of a deli on Covert Street near Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, New York after buying an iced tea, the New York Post reported.
Henry was leaving the deli to join his twin brothers and a friend who were waiting in a nearby car, when the shooter, dressed in all black, shot him and allegedly made off in what may have been a silver car.
Police provided no motive for the tragedy, and his father, George Henry believes his sons were “at the wrong place at the wrong time” or it could be a case of “mistaken identity.”
But New York police are also investigating the claim that Henry and the gunman got into an argument as one of his brothers walked into the deli prior to being shot.
The dead man was about to start his fourth year at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, where he was studying in hopes of joining the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
