"A teen gunman was nabbed in the stray-bullet shooting that left a promising 16-year-old Brooklyn basketball player paralyzed last month, cops said - as his mom said the still-hospitalized victim pledged to walk again. Alleged shooter Isaiah Greaves, 19, was picked up Dec. 17, weeks after he allegedly shot Nana Donkor in the back while the hoops player waited for a bus at Avenue J and East 16th Street in Midwood on Nov. 30, police said."
""Getting [Greaves] is not going to bring my son back," Donkor's mom, Danielle Boakye, told The Post by phone Tuesday. "My son is hurt. He got shot. Them catching him is not going to reverse that." But she acknowledged that the arrest is "good because [both suspects] must have the punishment of hurting an innocent person." "They have to be jailed - the punishment is jail so they will never shoot anyone else," Boakye said."
A 16-year-old Brooklyn basketball player, Nana Donkor, was struck in the back by a stray bullet on Nov. 30 while waiting for a bus in Midwood and was left paralyzed from the waist down. Police arrested 19-year-old Isaiah Greaves on Dec. 17 and charged him with attempted murder, felony assault and criminal possession of a weapon; a second suspect remains at large. The wounded teen said the shooter appeared to be aiming for another person he knew. Donkor's mother said doctors still consider removing the bullet too dangerous, but the teen is showing signs of progress and pledged to walk again.
