Police have arrested a man in the deadly shooting at New York City’s touristy South Street Seaport.
New York City police announced Thursday that the 21-year-old man was apprehended on Wednesday in Richmond, Va. in the killing of 31-year-old Omar Trent of Brooklyn.
Trent was shot Aug. 22 during a brawl that started aboard the Atlantica, a three-level party yacht that was docked at the seaport.
The fight spilled into the complex of shops, restaurants and maritime attractions in lower Manhattan.
Employees at nearby businesses arrived the following morning and saw Trent’s body covered by a tarp behind yellow police tape.
