Tyreke Borel’s mother said said through tears Monday that she had cautioned her son to stay home for J’ouvert, but he had insisted on joining the revelry where he was shot and killed.
“He was just a lovely child who wanted to enjoy the Labor Day. I told him to be safe. But he’s 17. He didn’t want to stay home,” Alima St. Clair said to the New York Daily News.
