"Third Suspect Apprehended in Long Island Teacher Murder Investigation"

Nassau County police announced the arrest of a third suspect, Milton Allen, aged 20, in connection with the tragic shooting of elementary school teacher Kimberly Midgette on Long Island in April 2023. Allen, a resident of Hempstead, faces charges of second-degree murder, joining previously arrested suspects Oumar Barry, 27, and a 16-year-old boy.

Midgette was fatally shot while dropping off her 10-year-old daughter at her ex-husband's house in Hempstead. Seated in her vehicle with a friend and her daughter, they were targeted by gunshots from a stolen black Honda Accord passing by.

Midgette suffered a fatal gunshot to the face, and her friend was injured in the arm, though the 10-year-old girl escaped physical harm. Despite ongoing investigations, authorities do not believe Midgette was the intended target.

Allen is scheduled to be arraigned on a second-degree murder charge, adding to the charges faced by Barry, who is identified as a leader of the Bloodhound Brims street gang, arrested alongside the teenage suspect in November.

The case has drawn attention to the senseless violence that claimed the life of a beloved teacher and mother.
