A 22-year-old woman who had survived being shot in the torso just this past spring was shot again at the same spot Saturday in a drive-by, this time the incident proving fatal. Shante Graham was at a party with friends on Nashville Boulevard in St. Albans when two men opened fire from inside a dark sedan at around 12:30 a.m. yesterday morning. Graham was shot in the stomach and would later be pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital. Two other people at the party were shot and treated at other hospitals, both listed in stable condition. Graham had just attended a memorial earlier in the day Friday for a friend who was killed in a domestic dispute. Graham's mother told the Times that her daughter had fallen in with a bad crowd, saying, “She was around negative people, doing nothing, hanging in the streets, not doing anything with herself.” ' Her mother also added that Graham aspired to be a school safety officer or a crew member at JFK. Police found the vehicle the shots were fired from near the party, abandoned in a parking lot.
