2nd Teen Arrested In Fatal Shooting Of LIC Man Walking Dog: NYPD

LONG ISLAND CITY, QUEENS — Police have arrested a second teenager in connection with the July shooting of a Long Island City man walking his dog, who died a month later.

Delante Aiken, an 18-year-old resident of the Ravenswood Houses, was arrested Wednesday on charges of murder and criminal possession of a loaded firearm, the NYPD said in a news release.

Police previously arrested a 17-year-old Ravenswood resident in connection with the July 25 shooting, accusing him and a then-unnamed accomplice of shooting at a rival gang member from Queensbridge Houses but instead hitting George Rosa, a 54-year-old man who was out walking his dog.

Rosa, who lived around the corner from the spot where a bullet struck him in the stomach, died from the gunshot wound one month later.

Both teens now face murder and weapon charges in connection with Rosa's death, according to police and prosecutors.

The 17-year-old, whom police said is a suspected gang member, is being charged as an adult.
