Police want automatic first-degree murder charges for fatal shootings in public, even as citywide gun violence dips. A grieving mother, Shondelle Reis, visited the wounded teen — a painful reunion that reopened old wounds. The victims, Shaquan Quashie and Cesar Vernaza, were targeted, while bystanders were caught in the crossfire. No arrests have been made. Now, the future of the festival hangs in the balance as city leaders vow to protect cultural traditions from violence — and push for real change.
