5th suspect arrested in slaying of Cuomo’s aide
Authorities say they’ve arrested a fifth suspect in the slaying of an aide to Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the hours before last year’s West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn.
Kenny Bazile was arrested Thursday in Palm Desert, California. WNBC-TV reports he’s accused of firing shots during a gang-related gun battle last year in which Carey Gabay (guh-BAY’) was fatally shot by stray gunfire. Bazile won’t be charged until he’s returned to New York.
Gabay, a 43-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer, was a first deputy general counsel at the Empire State Development Corp.

While Brooklyn has become the epitome of ‘cool and hip’ in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been ‘uncool’.
