CAPTURED!! 2 CHARGED IN BRONX SHOOT-OUT THAT KILLED 4 YEAR OLD

Rondell Pinkerton 17, charged with the murder a 4 year old Lloyd Morgan.
Police arrested two men for the Bronx shooting that claimed the life of a 4-year-old, authorities said.
Rondell Pinkerton, 17, was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
The teen is believed to have fired the shot that killed Lloyd Morgan, who was playing at a nearby playground, police said.
Pinkerton, who goes by the nickname "Spider," admitted to firing a weapon during the basketball game melee, but said he did so in self defense, police said.

Twenty-six-year-old Courtney Kelly of the Bronx, who was wounded in the shootout, was charged with criminal possession of a weapon.
Police said about 13 rounds were fired from either side of the court and adjacent playground, where Lloyd was standing with his mother. She wasn't injured.
A 21-year-old man also was wounded in the shootout.
Information about the suspects' lawyers wasn't immediately available.
Yesterday, police said they were also questioning “several other people” in the shooting.
Cops had taken down crime-scene tape blocking off the shooting scene on Monday afternoon, allowing the public to walk around in it and a press conference to be held there.
But more than 18 hours later, at 10:30 a.m. yesterday, they returned to the scene, taped off the area again, and began closely searching the area for evidence with metal detectors, rakes and other tools.
Crime-scene cops soon found three previously undiscovered pieces of ballistics evidence, including a shell casing that was lying on the ground about 40 feet from where Lloyd was shot, sources said.
Forest Houses residents said they believe that some of the gunmen came from the nearby McKinley Houses, where thugs have been engaged in a rivalry with punks from the Forest Houses.
Family friend Melody Nelson, who helped set up a memorial outside Lloyd’s family’s home, said the arrest was “great news.”
“Of course, they’re all 17,” Nelson said.
“That’s what they do, they shoot.”
Pointing to Lloyd’s shrine, she said, “He’s not the only kid.
“There’s going to be a million more.”
