Police have arrested a New York City education worker in connection with the January murder of a Bronx father.
The suspect, Naya Brown, was taken into custody this week in connection with the shooting death of Keon Gill, 44, who was leaving a restaurant with his brother where they had been celebrating the victim’s birthday, according to the New York Post.
Gill was shot in the chest and died, while his brother, 35, was shot in the knee and survived.
Brown is the second person to be arrested in this case, as the police also arrested Pernell Warren, 37, in February and charged him with murder. Authorities are still searching for a third male suspect, whose name has not been released.

Sources told the newspaper that Brown does not appear to be the one who shot Gill or his brother, and his role in the murder is unclear.
The Post newspaper reported that Gill and his brother got into an argument with Warren, Brown and a third suspect when they left the restaurant at 3 am.
A spokeswoman for the New York City Department of Education, which employs Brown, called the charges “deeply disturbing” in a statement sent to the Post.

“If these allegations are confirmed, we will proceed with the withdrawal,” said the spokesperson.
Brown’s arrest comes weeks after the NYPD arrested a teenager in connection with what officials described as a senseless shooting in the Bronx in February.
The February 11 incident occurred in the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx amid what officials and witnesses described as a rising wave of violence in the area, prompting affected family members to criticize Mayor Zohran Mamdani and law enforcement for not doing enough to keep New Yorkers safe.

Authorities have identified the slain victim as Christopher Redding, a prospective football player at John F. Kennedy High School, who suffered a gunshot wound to the back. According to the GoFundMe page, Redding was defending his friends who were being targeted by a group of people.
The 17-year-old man arrested in the incident was arrested days after the incident and is now facing multiple charges, including murder, attempted murder, murder, assault and possession of a loaded firearm.

Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson said the shooting started as a street brawl while stressing that it was “extreme violence against young adults.”
“This started as a street fight, it escalated,” Gibson said. “And, guess what, someone had a gun. That’s usually the problem.”
