New York police have arrested a suspect in the shooting death of a 17 year old Bronx basketball standout, according to the New York Post.
Najhim, 22, was arrested on Monday in connection with the June 28 killing of Brandon Hendricks, who had just graduated from James Monroe High School. Police say Najhim is accused of shooting Brandon in the neck shortly before midnight. He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Brandon was a point guard who planned to play at St. John’s University this fall. His death left the Bronx community heartbroken. According to ABC 7, police said Brandon was an innocent bystander. His coach told reporters he believes the bullets were not meant for Brandon and described him as a remarkable and intelligent young man who was not that kind of kid.
Brandon’s mother, Eve, shared her grief on Facebook after his death. She wrote that there is a hole in her heart that cannot be sealed or filled. She later told the Post that she cannot forgive the person responsible for taking her son.
Baller Alert sends our condolences to Brandon’s family, friends and teammates.
