Poyau had been walking
with three friends early Monday morning when she was shot in the eye ‘at close
range’ around 4.15am, according to the New York Post.
Authorities said Moise
was driving drunk and had a Caribbean flag wrapped around a bloodied hand when
he was arrested on Tuesday morning.
Moise, who has five
prior sealed arrests, allegedly called a friend after the shooting and told
them: ‘Would you mind if I put my gun into your apartment?’
He then told another
friend: ‘I think I shot somebody on the parade route. I didn’t know the gun was
loaded,’ according to police sources.
Moise allegedly fled to
to his girlfriend’s apartment following the shooting. It was there he drunkenly
fired two shots into a mirror, which caused the injury to his hand.
One of the bullets
entered the home of a neighbor, who then notified authorities.
Moise then fled into his
car and crashed into several parked vehicles, losing one of his tires, before
he was stopped by police around 8am on Tuesday.
Police said they
discovered the gun that killed Poyau at Moise’s girlfriend’s apartment, with
tests confirming it matched to a shell found at the murder site.
Chief of Detectives
Robert Boyce said Moise told investigators he thought he shot somebody, saying:
‘The gun went off, I’m not sure.’
Meanwhile, no arrests
have been made in the murder of 17-year-old Tyreke Borel.
Borel, of the Bronx, was
shot in the chest about 3:50am near Empire Boulevard and Flatbush Avenue durin
the festival.
He was taken to the
hospital, where he died.
Poyau was shot just a
block away 30 minutes after Borel was shot, police said. She died at the
hospital.
