As police continue to search for answers over the shooting that left one dead and three injured at a New York City concert on Wednesday, the most vocal of the victims has put out a statement clarifying where she thus far stands in the investigation. Maggie Carrie Heckstall, who is reported to be the girlfriend of rapper Maino, initially spoke out on Friday when she informed the press that she felt she was being treated like a criminal, after her lawyers filed a cease-and-desist order against the NYPD. In her message delivered via Instagram on Saturday (May 28), Heckstall touched on her gripe once more, insisting that her family's visitation "does not tamper" with the investigation, but she also afforded followers a direct account of what happened from her perspective, while updating them on the status of her interaction with detectives.
"I DO NOT KNOW WHO SHOT ME," Heckstall wrote, asserting that she nor her lawyers have provided a statement affirming otherwise. "I didn't even hear nothing about Troy Ave until the next day."
Meanwhile authorities are making daily strides based off of their examination of the evidence at hand. On Thursday it was announced that Troy Ave, whose wound police believe to have been self-inflicted, was under arrest following a review of surveillance footage from the Irving Plaza green room, which has since leaked to the public. At the moment he faces charges of attempted murder, criminal possession of a weapon, and reckless endangerment, but may be on the hook for a graver charge as no bullets have been recovered but those from the gun police say the video shows him firing. Meanwhile, the mother of slained victim Ronald McPhatter, Rose, and anti-violence activist brother Shanduke McPhatter have pressed on for justice in the pending case.
