NEW YORK — New York Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell on Monday met the Brooklyn family still reeling from a senseless drive-by shooting that killed an innocent 12-year-old boy and badly wounded his 20-year-old cousin.
“Whose child is next?” Adams said afterward, repeating the question the family asked him moments earlier. “And when you understand the realness of this, you understand the urgency. So when I move with the urgency, and people are telling me to slow down, what the hell is wrong with you? Whose child is next? And the overwhelming number of the victims are Black and brown.”
Adams held up Air Jordans worn by Kade Lewin, who was shot to death in East Flatbush Thursday night in a hail of 11 bullets meant for someone else.
