The tragic shooting of a 16-year-old boy in SoHo on Tuesday has left the community in Brooklyn devastated and filled with sorrow. A candlelit memorial stands in the breezeway of the Rutland Road Houses in East Flatbush, paying tribute to a young life tragically taken by gunfire. Makhi Brown, who was commonly referred to as "Kai" by his friends and neighbors, tragically passed away on Tuesday near a school in SoHo. He lost his life when an unidentified teenager shot him in the head and quickly escaped on a Citi Bike. Ramel Williams, the neighbor, informed reporters that he played a significant role in the upbringing of the talented 16-year-old who showcased exceptional skills on the basketball court. "He loved everybody. He's passionate. He has a good heart and that's what you need in life -- a good heart. He wasn't one of those hard head, fancy kids," Williams said. Investigators reported that on Tuesday afternoon, a group of boys intervened to stop a fight between two groups of girls in a walkway linking Spring Street and Dominick Street. Tragically, the altercation ended in gunfire, resulting in the death of a teenager from Flatbush. The investigation into Brown's murderer remains ongoing; however, in Brooklyn, a close-knit group of friends and neighbors rallied together to provide solace to a sorrowful woman who tragically lost her sole son mere days prior to Mother's Day.
