Brooklyn native escaped a classmate’s hit-list, is now sworn police
Andre Martin remembers it vividly: Michael Hernandez leading Martin and fellow schoolmate Jaime Gough into the bathroom at Southwood Middle School, then trying to lure his two friends into the handicap stall.
Martin balked. Gough didn’t. The school bell rang. Hernandez, a stickler for timeliness, backed off and the trio headed for class.
The next morning around the same time, Gough and Hernandez, both 14, entered the same bathroom stall. There, Hernandez overpowered the smaller teen, slit his throat and killed him.
