3 Suspects Arrested In Shooting Death Of Mother Of 12

The NYPD announced that their investigation into the tragic killing of, Zurana Horton, in Brownsville, Brooklyn has resulted in the arrests of 3 young men.

Investigators say Andrew Lopez, 18, admitted to spraying the Brownsville streets with bullets last Friday, just as class was letting out. Also arrested were his brothers, Kristian Lopez, 17, and Jonathan Carrasquillo, 22.

Horton, 33, was picking up her children from school when gunfire erupted. The mother of 13 instinctively shielded the small group of youth, ushering them to safety, as she was fatally struck in the head by a stray shot.

Also wounded were Cheanne McKnight, an 11-year-old girl whose right cheek was grazed, and Unique Armstead, 31, struck in the left arm as she met her son.

As the drama unfolded, a teacher snatched one of Horton’s children away to safety. Andrew’s intended targets, as he fired from the roof, appeared to be a group of youth from a nearby housing project that they confronted earlier.
