Overview

  • Police charged a 16-year-old, a 17-year-old, Daeven Reyes, 20, and Robert Royal, 25, with murder and attempted murder after Saturday’s Haffen Park shooting.
  • Prosecutors added gang assault counts to the cases against the two teens and Reyes, and investigators said the incident appeared gang-related.
  • Victims included 32-year-old Jaceil Banks, who was fatally shot in the chest, and 17-year-old Anthonaya Campbell, who remains in critical condition with a head wound.
  • Detectives recovered six firearms, and ShotSpotter data and witnesses indicated roughly 40–48 shots were fired during the basketball tournament.
  • NYPD data show shootings are up in the 47th Precinct even as citywide gun violence declines, and the suspects awaited arraignment as the investigation continues; separate Chicago coverage detailed 30 shot over the weekend and a 4-year-old’s accidental fatal shooting tied to an unsecured gun.
