A man involved in the shooting death of a 2 year old boy surrendered yesterday in the offices of a Bronx cable station, News 12. Nicholas Morris, 26, denied he shot David Pacheco Jr. in an interview with News 12 (he says he was blocks away), but Morris and another man, Ronneil Gilliam, had been identified as being in the group. Morris said he wanted to tell News 12 what happened before he would speak to the police who would mis him up. Apparently two aruging groups' initially exchanged "hard looks", which then turned into trashtalking and slaps - then gunfire on Easter Sunday, and then one of the bullets hit the minivan carrying the Pacheco family. Police are still looking for Gilliam.
The Pacheco family thanked the off-duty EMT who stopped to help them, as well as the livery driver who drove them to the hospital. However, the press conference was emotional: Pacheco's mother, Joanne Sanabria, said about her son's killers, "Every night when you go to sleep, you [will] see my son's face and hear my voice. I don't want you to ever forget that. This is your death sentence, hearing me."
