NYPD Make Arrest in Shooting Death of Governor’s Aide


nypdNew York City police say they’ve made an arrest in the death of an aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo who was caught in the crossfire between two gangs last year.

Carey Gabay was shot in the head in September during a pre-dawn party celebrating the West Indian Day Parade.

The 43-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer was a first deputy general counsel at the Empire State Development Corp.

Micah Alleyne was arraigned Friday and held without bail. His attorney declined to comment.

Ken Taub of the Brooklyn district attorney’s office says more arrests are expected in the case.

Cuomo issued a statement Friday praising investigators for their work. The Democratic governor said Gabay was “an exemplary public servant,” and he called the arrest “a major step forward in the pursuit of justice.”
