Taearion Mungo, a 16-year-old, was shot in the chest at the Walt Whitman Houses, dying later at the hospital. His previous arrests were for gun-related offenses.
The motive for Mungo’s shooting remains unclear, but he had prior gun-related arrests and investigators indicated a gang affiliation.
Just two days before Mungo's death, 16-year-old Clarence Jones was fatally shot in Harlem, leading to a community deep in sorrow.
