Man Charged in Crown Heights Murder
Dayshawn Walkin was charged with shooting Jermaine Benjamin to death on June 25 on St. John's Place and between Troy and Schenectady avenues.
This is in Crown Heights quite far from Prospect Heights, but I thought people might want to know that cops have charged a man with the murder.
Here are the specifics, directly from the NYPD:
