"Ka'mardre Coleman, 16, died at the hospital after paramedics transported him with a gunshot wound to his chest from the New York City Housing Authority's Sheepshead Bay Houses on Avenue X and Brown Street around 6 p.m. on Monday."
"The defendant, a 16-year-old boy whom authorities did not name because he is a minor, was taken into custody on Tuesday afternoon in the same precinct where the other boy was killed."
"Officials said Ka'mardre Coleman lived in NYCHA's Nostrand Houses on Bragg Street and Avenue V, also in Sheepshead Bay and under a half-mile from where he was shot."
"This story is based on preliminary information from police and may be updated."
