Murder suspect "Richochet." denies killing 17-year-old Stapleton girl
Genice Clark, 17, an aspiring nurse, was set to graduate from New Dorp High School on Friday. Instead, the suspect in her murder was caught by police in New Jersey yesterday. Instead, while her peers were celebrating, Miss Clark's killer was caught by police.
Richard Mitchell, 31, of Clifton, was arrested at 3:36 p.m. yesterday in a relative's apartment in Burlington, N.J. on a parole warrant. He was charged with murdering Miss Clark, of Stapleton, in front of a neighborhood deli early in the morning on June 13.
Richard Mitchell, 31, of Clifton, was arraigned earlier today in Stapleton Criminal Court. He is being held without bail.Family members believe Miss Clark had intervened in an argument between her older sister and another person, and that person called an older cousin, who showed up with a gun and started shooting.
Miss Clark, an aspiring nurse, was set to graduate from New Dorp High School on Friday.
During his arraignment at Stapleton Criminal Court yesterday, Mitchell, dressed in a white knicks t-shirt, dark blue jeans and sneakers, shuffled into the courtroom, his hands cuffed behind his back. His lawyer, Philip Ohene, said Mitchell was at the scene when Miss Clark was shot, but that he was not the one who fired. Ohene said when shots rang out, Mitchell, along with everyone else, ran away. Several minutes later, Mitchell returned and was at the scene when police arrived, he said.
Judge Desmond Green said Mitchell would be assigned an attorney from a homicide panel on Monday. In the meantime, he said Mitchell would be held without bail.
On hearing the decision, Miss Clark's family members, seated in the courtroom, erupted with cheers and applause, shouting "rot in hell," "murderer" and "bastard."
Miss Clark's uncle, Edward Anderson, said Mitchell was distantly related to Miss Clark's aunt, and that the family always called him "nephew" and welcomed him into their family. They said they often referred to him as "Ricky," but that his street name is "Richochet."
Following Miss Clark's death, the family suspected Mitchell had something to do with the incident. Anderson said he hopes Mitchell is sentenced to life behind bars.
"I want him to spend the rest of his life thinking about what he did," he said. "It's been very hurtful for us. We're a close-knit family and Genice was the most positive one who was really trying to make something of herself."

2 years in prison for birthday boy who admitted role in Tompkinsville deli heist
Helicopters and heavily armed police units swarmed Victory Boulevard on April 27, shutting down part of the neighborhood for two hours after an armed robbery at the Convenient Food Market in Tompkinsville. But that’s the sentence a Brooklyn teen who turned 18 on Tuesday received today for his role in an armed deli robbery in Tompkinsville that sparked a tense police confrontation.
Kwameek Stallings and two older cohorts held up the Convenient Food Market at 164 Victory Blvd. on April 27, said prosecutors.
According to police, a co-defendant Willie Gary, 23, held a gun to the deli clerk’s head while another defendant, Dwayne Sanders, 22, and Stallings grabbed money from the cash register. They also swiped lottery tickets from the counter.
One man in the store was forced into a back bathroom at gunpoint.
Sanders then took Gary’s gun, ordered the clerk to hand over his wallet and repeatedly pistol-whipped him on the neck, court papers allege.
Cops arrived before the trio could make their getaway, and the crooks hid under the store’s bathroom insulation.
Helicopters and heavily armed police units swarmed the block, shutting down part of the neighborhood for two hours until they found the suspects in the bathroom.
After their arrest, Gary tried to give police a fake name, while Stallings attempted to convince police he was 14 years old, said court papers.
Stallings pleaded guilty two weeks ago in state Supreme Court, St. George, to a felony count of attempted second-degree robbery, said a spokesman for District Attorney Daniel Donovan.
Gary and Sanders each pleaded guilty on June 16 to attempted first-degree robbery. The Brooklyn residents are slated to be sentenced on Monday.
Besides his prison term, Stallings is subject to two years’ post-release supervision.
His lawyer, Mark Geisser, declined comment on the case.
In Stapleton, more bloodshed, just steps from spot where teen was slain
NYPD detectives investigate the scene of the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Genice Clark in front of the Island Deli at 207 Gordon St., on June 13.Dontay Sanders, 20, was getting payback for a shooting earlier this year, a law enforcement source said, when he fired a single shot at his 22-year-old target, who is believed to be a member of the Bloods.
The shooting took place at 12:30 a.m. Sunday in front of 202 Gordon St., just seven days after Genice Clark, 17, was shot and killed outside of a deli at 207 Gordon St. Ms. Clark would have graduated from New Dorp High School tomorrow.
As of today, police were still looking for the man Ms. Clark’s family members believe responsible for her slaying, law enforcement sources said.
In this past Sunday’s shooting, Sanders shattered the victim’s jaw, court papers allege.
View full sizeDontay Sanders is accused of shooting a gang member in front of 202 Gordon St. on Sunday.Sanders attacked an NYPD sergeant who tried to arrest him, flailing and kicking hard enough to sprain the sergeant’s knee and cause "possible ligament damage," court papers allege.
In reference to the shooting, Sanders has been charged with second-degree attempted murder, first-degree assault and two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, said William J. Smith, a spokesman for District Attorney Daniel Donovan.
The Tuesday incident also netted Sanders charges of second-degree assault, fourth-, fifth- and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and resisting arrest.
He’s slated to be arraigned in Stapleton Criminal Court this afternoon.
Drake Sells More Than 446,000 In One Week, 3rd Highest Debut Of The Year
According to preliminary figures from Nielsen Soundscan, Drake’s much anticipated album Thank Me Later has sold more than 446,000 units, making it the third highest debut of the year behind Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now and Sade’s Soldier of Love, which sold 481,000 and 502,000 in their first weeks respectively.
Drake’s sales are not close to rivaling the last big rap debut from his mentor Lil Wayne. “It’s a different time and space,” said Gail Mitchell of Billboard.com “The last rap album, according to Nielsen Soundscan, to sell a million in its first week was Lil Wayne’s The Carter III in June of 2008. In that two year time, the industry has changed a lot and sales aren’t where they used to be overall so for Drake to being doing anything in the 400,000 range despite a leak says something to the whole fact that if you got a strong album and you got strong songs on an album, people will buy it.”
