NYC man found not guilty of federal gun charges in 2015 killing of Cuomo aide

NEW YORK — An accused gang member who dodged murder charges in the 2015 killing of an aide to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo scored another court victory Monday when a jury acquitted him of federal gun possession charges connected to the fatal shooting.

Stanley Elianor, 31, was found not guilty after a weeklong trial in Brooklyn Federal Court of a charge that he possessed a firearm as a felon during the deadly shootout that killed Carey Gabay, 43, in Crown Heights on Sept. 7, 2015.

Gabay was struck in the head by a stray bullet during the J’Ouvert festivities before the Caribbean Day Parade, in a gunfight authorities have said was sparked by a turf war between the 8-Trey Crips, Hoodstarz and Folk Nation gangs.
