A 22-year-old American college student was fatally shot in the face at the J’Ouvert festival in Brooklyn after she told a man to stop grinding against her.
St. John’s University student Tiarah Poyau was walking the pre-West Indian Day Parade route with three friends early Monday when she was accosted and told the man, "Get off me.’ Her friends, who were walking ahead of her at around 4:15 a.m., then heard a shot and saw her fall at Empire Boulevard and Franklin Avenue.
Poyau had been shot in the eye at close range.
"This young lady is just a stellar person," said Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce. "No issues in her life whatsoever, and none before either"
The 20-year-old thug who shot her was nabbed Tuesday morning, September 6th, while drunkenly driving on a three wheels 2002 Ford Explorer and with a Caribbean flag wrapped around his bloody hand, according to police. He is being charged with murder and depraved indifference.
Before his arrest, suspect identified as Reginald Moise,20, told friends, "I think I shot somebody on the parade route. I didn’t know the gun was loaded," sources said. He had called his cousin looking to stash the murder weapon at her house. When he arrived, Moise then barely missed killing a one-year-old boy sleeping in his crib after he shot up a relative's apartment while hiding the gun. The bullet went through the relative's wall and into a neighbour's apartment
A cop who was at the scene with his partners took to Instagram to narrate Tiarah's last moments on earth.
"Her name was Tiarah Poyau and on Sunday night while My partners and I didn't know her We spent her last moments on earth with her while she lay dying. Maybe it's because I'm a dad, maybe it's because I'm a human, maybe it's because I care, I don't know. I haven't been able to stop thinking about her. I cried on the way home from work for the first time in a long time. So sad. To her family I'm sorry for your loss if you ever see this. Know that we tried our best. God bless her and her family." Lohman wrote.
NYC Mayor Bill DiBlaiso had put a cancellation of the annual festival "on the table"

AUNTY LINDA
OMG...SEE FINE GIRL... WELL ONE THING WE SHOULD TRY NOT TO DO IS EMBARRASS PEOPLE IN PUBLIC. MAYBE SHE SCREAMED AT THE GUY AND HE FELT PUT DOWN...SIMPLY WALK AWAY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU THE LOCATION IS NOT SO SAFE.
Rip
Eyahhhhh!! Rip
Wasted beauty. No peace 4 d wicked.
You really must be a self-centred and insensitive person to put this sort of comment under such a sad, sensitive post!!!
The comment should not have been enabled.
Rip
Rip dear.so sad
Dis is obviously scam...hw possible dis u Come so Gud abt dis names of author..as many as de re if nt for da help o google
You've said it all. Demon lives with some people. RIP to the dead
Someone be saying she shouldn't have screamed cos the guy might feel put down, have you ever thought she might have felt molested by his touches,Some people shaa, it's her fault for screaming out when an unwanted body touched her but if she didn't scream she might have been enjoying it probably, Nigeria, the land where women will always be at fault even when they die at the hands of a psycho.
Na WA for people see how this beautiful girl just go, the have to kill that person too.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GENDER. IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE MALE OR FEMALE. THE FACT IS PEOPLE ARE GENERALLY EMOTIONALLY SENSITIVE IN PUBLIC AND WE SHOULD MAKE SURE WE ARE SECURE BEFORE REACTING IN WAYS THAT COULD EMBARASS THEM BEFORE OTHERS. SOMETIMES WE LOOSE THE BATTLE AND WIN THE WAR.
Sad RIP
Lol Prisca, calm down oo. This your format is new and unique. I love it. Next time, look for post that has a happy headline. That way, readers will open with their happy mood and feel pity on you before helping you. Just my own tip. From a jobber to another jobber.
Fine girl RIP
Too bad...#onMYway...
May your soul rest in peace, at least you put up a fight. Now this comment I'm about to type is for nsikan davies. I didn't want to reply you but I saw you had the audacity to drop another negative comment. You are very gullible and in humane for such foolish comment. Put yourself in her shoes. Imagine coming back from work and a drunk idiot starts to rub himself against you probably trying to rape you. Doesn't your first instinct tell you to scream or shout at least to attract attention and probably help from people around? And here you're talking about making the person feel embarrassed. Are you a bastard? Someone was almost getting molested and you're saying maybe her screaming made him feel embarrassed. You are indeed a thoughtless and spineless cow. And when you fall into that type of scene one day allow yourself to be molested without putting up a fight. I don't care if you're a man or woman, your comment shows you lack sense, human sympathy and compassion. And as for the culprit, the Lord will punish you immensely for taking a life you cannot create.
