Why isn't this being plastered all over social media? Especially by Black celebrities, you know the same ones who went hard for the White teen who was bullied. It took me a moment to collect myself while I gathered the details to put this blog post together. I send my condolences to this young man family, and may he rest in peace.
Here's what is being reported;
Dayshen McKenzie died while running for his life.
The black Staten Island teen, fleeing what witnesses described as a
mostly white crew shouting racial epithets and waving a gun, collapsed
and died last week from an asthma attack.
“To me, it’s murder,” said Diane Fatigati, an ex-NYPD officer and 9/11
responder, who rushed to the aid of the dying McKenzie. “They were
chasing him — that’s a crime. You’re hunting them because they’re black
... You’re calling them a n----r.”
Fatigati tried desperately to resuscitate the 16-year-old aspiring rapper.
“I got a gun!” good Samaritan Fatigati heard one pursuer shout around 4
p.m. as McKenzie and a half-dozen pals sprinted through backyards.
“I’m gonna shoot you, n----r!” yelled another.
Fatigati said the group chasing McKenzie and his pals consisted of
young white males and one Hispanic male, and said two of the cars in the
wild pursuit bore Pennsylvania plates. No arrests were made and no
charges filed in the week since the incident.
McKenzie’s mom, Tisha Richardson, was stunned to hear the details of her
son’s final minutes alive — sprinting behind houses and taking shelter
inside a shed as carloads of young men gave chase.
“The sadness turns to anger,” said Richardson, 43. “I want justice for him. Somebody should be held accountable.”
A police source said McKenzie’s pals didn’t mention the racial slur when cops interviewed them after the teen died.
Hate crimes investigators are expected to interview the witnesses again after the Daily News inquired about the case.
