According to FOX 5 NY's Robert Moses, the 18-year-old boy died in virtually the same spot as a 14-year-old boy, who was shot and killed at the end of November.
Moses said a friend of the 18-year-old told him he was a well-known drill rapper, which is notable considering November’s killing was over drill rap as well.
