Cuomo aide is brain dead after shooting before NYC parade
An aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been declared brain dead after being caught in the crossfire between two gangs in the hours before the West Indian Day parade, his family said Wednesday.
Carey Gabay remains on life support pending what his family says are “difficult decisions” in the days to come. The determination was made late Tuesday.
“Our family is grieving that a man in the prime of his life who has impacted so many lives could be struck down by such a callous act,” the family said in the statement. “This is a nightmare that’s shaken our resolve and tested our faith. As we continue to try to make sense of this tragedy, the family would like to extend its thanks to all those who have supported us.”
