The 16-year-old boy shot in Soho on Wednesday was pointlessly murdered by gang members because he tried to stop two teen girls from fighting, police confirmed.was pointlessly murdered by gang members because he tried to stop two teen girls from fighting, police officials said Friday.

“After school they have fight. The fight is broken up, everybody goes their separate ways,” Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny explained, noting that the feud was then reignited the next day in the Spring Street courtyard. “One of the girl’s brothers steps in and says hey, ‘there’s not going to be a fight today. My sister is not fighting anybody.’ He stands up for his sister and says she’s not fighting.

Brown — who is believed to be a friend of the girl’s brother who originally attempted to break things up — was shot once in the head and twice in the right femur. The youngsters scattered, leaving first responders to try and revive Brown, to no avail. Chief Kenny stated witnesses reported that at least one of the killers yelled “Whoopty,” indicating they may have an affiliation with the Woo street gang.
