"As alleged, the four defendants acted in concert to plan and carry out the murder of a perceived gang rival when they instead shot and killed 16-year-old Claudia Quatey. According to the investigation, the incident started when a planned confrontation between two teens led to groups meeting near a park at P.S. 15 on Lucas Street at around 7:30 p.m. on May 10, 2023."
"After the meeting, Quatey and four friends entered a blue Hyundai Venue. She was seated in the rear passenger's seat, behind a reputed member of the rival TopOpp gang. Seconds after the car drove away, Randall and Pierrimas allegedly fired multiple rounds into the vehicle before the four defendants fled the scene."
"We will hold the defendants accountable for this senseless tragedy and continue to work with our law-enforcement partners to dismantle gangs in this borough, Katz said."
