Killing Outside Queens Day Care Center

2007_09_qnsday.jpgAround 9:50AM, a man was shot multiple times outside a day care center in South Jamaica. A baby-sitter had yelled, "Oh, my God, this is crazy! This is day care!" The victim, identified as 30-year-old Dwight Bent, was pronounced dead at Mary Immaculate Hospital.

Apparently Bent was visiting someone in the 110th Avenue building, which both a residence and day care facility. The Times-Ledger reports that "two men wearing bandanas over their faces" approached Bent and his friend and then an argument broke out. The Daily News describes Bent's friend "grabbed Bent's bloody arm" and "dragged" him into the daycare center.

Police found nine bags of marijuana on Bent, who was on probation for selling drugs. No one else was injured and police quickly handed the children off to parents.

The police are still looking for the two gunman. They did recover two weapons, an AK-47 and a shot gun, from a home the suspects may be connected to (the weapon that killed Bent was a 9mm).

-This is madness.

"This is day care!"

He was going to turn his life around, join the NYPD and shoot his enemies family members legally. He was also one day away from getting his GED. His grandmother also told Police officers that he was just a misguided child, and they'll consider sueing the city for their neglect. It's the cities fault that this negroid died.
