A teenage girl has been arrested in the fatal shooting of a 14-year-old boy in the Bronx last month over a drill rap beef, police said.
The 17-year-old suspect, whose name was not released due to her age, was charged Wednesday with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon in the Nov. 30 killing of Prince Shabazz.
The young victim was walking with his 15-year-old brother just after 9:15 p.m. when a pair of masked shooters ambushed them on Morris Avenue near East 182nd Street in Fordham Heights, according to cops.
The shooters were allegedly targeting the older brother, who is an aspiring drill rapper.
The fatal shooting was caught on surveillance video.
Disturbing footage obtained by The Post captured one of the shooters, wearing a blue bag over a shoulder, first hiding behind a parked car and then jumping out and opening fire on the brothers.
The teens turned back and tried to flee down the block, but the shooter pursued them and continued to fire wildly. Smoke can be seen coming out of the pistol’s muzzle in the video.
Shabazz, who was wearing a white shirt, suddenly falls out of the picture, with his brother continuing ahead.
He was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was declared dead. His brother was not injured.
Authorities stand over the body of Prince Shabazz, who was declared dead at St. Barnabas Hospital.
Surveillance video obtained from a nearby store showed the shooters run past the camera, wearing hoodies and masks, right after the murder.
“My son was smart, charismatic, loved, and all he cared about is looking good,” the teen’s heartbroken mother said.
“He cared about looks, he cared about girls, he cared about clothes and looking good,” she added. “Anybody who met him, he’ll just charm you.”
