“Lived in Brooklyn his whole life. My precious cousin, my baby killed last night…my cousin Nicholas murdered near his home last night. Brooklyn, New York.”

His cousin Carol Clarke stated, the 27-year-old was never in any trouble and kept himself clear of drugs and gangs.
“He was shot in the chest as he walked towards his car close to his home. Nicki is absolutely devastated as are all our family – she was very close to her cousin but now he has gone, his friends have told us there wasn’t any trouble that night and we believe it could have been a case of mistaken identity but the police are still investigating the case.” according to Clarke.
