22-year-old student shot and killed in Brooklyn after she told male dancer to stop grinding against her
A 22-year-old American
college student was fatally shot in the face at the J’Ouvert festival in
Brooklyn after she told a man to stop grinding against her.
St. John’s University
student Tiarah Poyau was walking the pre-West Indian Day Parade route with
three friends early Monday when she was accosted and told the man,
"Get off me.’ Her friends, who were walking ahead of her at around 4:15 a.m., then heard a shot and saw her fall at Empire Boulevard and
Franklin Avenue.
"This young lady is just a stellar
person," said Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce. "No issues in her
life whatsoever, and none before either"
The 20-year-old thug who shot her was nabbed Tuesday morning, September 6th, while drunkenly driving on a three wheels 2002 Ford Explorer and with a Caribbean flag wrapped around his bloody hand, according to police. He is being charged with murder and depraved indifference.
Before his arrest,
suspect identified as Reginald Moise,20, told friends, "I think I shot
somebody on the parade route. I didn’t know the gun was loaded," sources
said. He had called his cousin looking to stash the murder weapon at her house.
When he arrived, Moise then barely missed killing a one-year-old boy sleeping
in his crib after he shot up a relative's apartment while hiding the gun. The
bullet went through the relative's wall and into a neighbour's apartment
A cop who was at the
scene with his partners took to Instagram to narrate Tiarah's last moments on
earth.
"Her name was Tiarah Poyau and on Sunday night while My partners and I didn't know her We spent her
last moments on earth with her while she lay dying. Maybe it's because I'm a
dad, maybe it's because I'm a human, maybe it's because I care, I don't know. I
haven't been able to stop thinking about her. I cried on the way home from work
for the first time in a long time. So sad. To her family I'm sorry for your
loss if you ever see this. Know that we tried our best. God bless her and her
family." Lohman wrote.

had put a cancellation of the annual festival "on the table"
