Grandmother shot to death as she arrived home in New York

Angelina Renita Parker, an appreciated community figure and 69-year-old grandmother, is shot to death in front of her home in Brooklyn, New York. The incident occurred upon her return from a family Thanksgiving gathering, leaving the community of Bedford-Stuyvesant, where she resided, in grief.

The Department of New York Police Department (NYPD) discovered Parker, a valued daycare worker, fatally wounded at the Brevoort Houses, a public housing complex in Brooklyn. The discovery occurred shortly before eleven pm on Thursday, after a trail of blood led her neighbors to her.

Parker was pronounced dead at Brookdale Medical Center. She leaves behind a son and four grandchildren. Her untimely death has created a significant void in the Brooklyn community, where she was admired for her selfless acts of kindness and her unwavering willingness to help those in need.

Mary Parker, his 89-year-old mother, expressed her grief to the Daily News, stating: “Such a senseless death… It’s just devastating… He was a kind and loving person. Someone to turn to, always willing to help.”

The pain has echoed throughout the Brooklyn community. Neighbor Betty Parker shared, “It was a shock. She had just returned from her son’s house for Thanksgiving. She always made you smile.” Another neighbor, Jerome Hicks, recalled his penchant for offering help, stating, “He was always helping people. There was no need for this to happen. “There are too many guns in this neighborhood.”

So far, the NYPD has failed to arrest any suspects or locate witnesses to the deadly shooting. It is still unclear whether the grandmother was the intended target or an unfortunate bystander caught in the crossfire.
