Police have arrested a suspect they say fatally shot a doting Brooklyn dad moments after the victim turned 34, officials said Wednesday.
Cops on Friday arrested Umajestice McKensie, 33, for the Oct. 28 slaying of Marvin “Curtis” Carroway in the lobby of a Howard Houses building where he lived on Sutter Ave. in Brownsville.
Just two hours before the 12:02 a.m. slaying, Carroway was on Facebook Live preparing to celebrate his birthday with friends.
“My b-day is tomorrow,” he says as he drinks from a champagne bottle and dances to music.
“I’m chilling bro, like I didn’t even get to pull up and go to the city yet. I ain’t do nothing, I ain’t even leave,” he says. “I’m just having a good time. I respect everybody. Just respect me. That’s all I care about.”
Medics rushed Carroway to Brookdale University Hospital but he could not be saved.
Police linked McKensie, who lives about two miles away in the Linden Houses, to the killing and took him into custody, charging him with murder and criminal possession of a loaded firearm.
After his slaying, Carroway’s heartbroken brother, David Carroway, lamented the devastating loss.
“I love you I wish I could just get a hug from you rite now I know you hear me!! I need you to tell me this is a dream and everything will be OK,” the brother posted on Facebook. “I can’t stop crying.”
