Marcia Brown felt adrift in her grief Monday.
"It's like I'm lost in space. I don't know where to turn or start," she said, her voice thick with tears. "I can't believe he's gone. He was my baby, and he was the first to go."
Her youngest son, Nicholas Brown, was gunned down Saturday night, the 13th homicide victim in the city this year, according to police. The 26-year-old had been standing in front of a multifamily home on Magnolia Street, a few yards from the playground at the Milner School.
Police took him to St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead. The investigation into Brown's death remained active Monday, with detectives scouring the area for surveillance footage, Foley said.
No suspects had been named, and the motive behind the violent shooting remained unclear.
"We came here, we left the Bronx to get away from the violence," Marcia Brown said at her home, a little less than 2 miles from the pavement where her son was mortally wounded. "I thought Connecticut would be a safe place, and this is what happened.
