Today's cover: More children in the line of fire as rash of shootings continues to plague NYC
For Yanely Henriquez, Christmas this year was far from a celebration.
Nearly 150 youngsters have been shot so far this year, police data shows, compared to 138 for all of 2021. “You have to think about the fact that those were 16 innocent people with unique lives and interests and personalities that had their opportunities snatched from them by someone’s simple action of pulling a trigger,” she said.
The teen’s murder was part of an alleged killing spree by Oliver that also left a 21-year man dead and a 96-year-old man wounded. Her daughter — who was just 16 when she was hit in the head on a Brooklyn playground on Sept. 30, 2021 — “is still healing,” she said. Police said the shootings — which victimized 149 youngsters so far in 2022 — are part of a brutal, years-long trend in the city.
