RIVERDALE, the Bronx (PIX11) — A New York City school worker was arrested in connection with the deadly shooting of a 44-year-old man in the Bronx, according to police.
Naya Brown, a 26-year-old employed by the Department of Education, was charged with murder on Tuesday, authorities said. A 37-year-old man named Pernell Warren was also arrested and charged with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon on Feb. 1, officials reported.
The pair was taken into custody in connection with the deadly shooting of 44-year-old Keon Gill on Jan. 25 in Riverdale, police said. Gil was shot in the chest at the intersection of West 242nd Street and Broadway around 2:50 a.m. and died at the hospital, according to authorities.
