The graduate student who was gunned down at a New York Caribbean culture festival was allegedly murdered after telling a man to stop grinding against her.

Tiarah Poyau, 22, was shot in the face after she told the man, 'Get off me', while walking with friends during the J'Ouvert festival in Brooklyn, police sources said.

Reginald Moise, 20, was taken into custody in connection with her death after he allegedly made statements that implicated himself to two people.
:::
Poyau had been walking with three friends early Monday morning when she was shot in the eye 'at close range' around 4.15am, according to the New York Post.

Authorities said Moise was driving drunk and had a Caribbean flag wrapped around a bloodied hand when he was arrested on Tuesday morning.

Moise, who has five prior sealed arrests, allegedly called a friend after the shooting and told them: 'Would you mind if I put my gun into your apartment?'.
He then told another friend: 'I think I shot somebody on the parade route. I didn't know the gun was loaded', according to police sources.

Moise allegedly fled to to his girlfriend's apartment following the shooting.

The victim:



Male entitlement is so great they think they own women's bodies. The frequency of gender violence means women as a class have so much reason for a women's lives matter movement.

Not to mention this fvcka had a girlfriend....
More entitlement fvckery.

Toxic Masculinity strikes again. I have a friend who has dedicated his life to schooling young black men especially college aged men on how toxic this sense of entitlement is. He travels all over the country encouraging men to look out for women especially at parties where women are likely to be drugged and sexually assaulted. He focuses solely on young black men because they are vulnerable to falling through the cracks and being misguided by peer pressure. I really admire his drive.

What a pretty young lady. Might even be one of our Lhcf sisters. Once again, we are unprotected. And it's a shame that we have to be so careful when it comes to rejecting men who feel entitled to our bodies. Ever since I was a teen if a guy tried to holla at you and you weren't interested, he was quick to call you out your name. Now you can lose your life for not being interested?! This can't be life.

Not too long ago I saw a bunch of dudes on the corner and one tried to holla at this girl and she says im married. His reply was "so what I am too" and his boys all chuckled. Dudes feel entitled. They will grab you as you walk by...

I'm sad this woman lost her life.

This is sad. May she rest in peace.

Someone is the other thread was talking about how she was afraid to go to the festival (and another person said something about standing where the white people are) and I was with her on that. I've never been and because of this situation and other people comments it looks like I'll never attend one.

I know most people might not agree, but they honestly need to shut down this parade.

I've been hearing about violence at jouvert and the parade its self since the 90's and any true Brooklyn head know not to hang around "hot spots" along the back streets and the parkway around that time of the year.

I don't care how many names they change the parade to in order to shake the negativity or have hundreds of cops out on the streets, they should stop this parade all together.

Scary, we are the same age. I can't imagine my life being snuffed out so young just because of some random guy. When I lived in Brooklyn I used to always want to go to this festival but my older brothers never let me. Now I don't want to go. It's scary how angry men get when you reject them. I've been followed, called names, one ran up behind me and screamed "*****!" in my ear, I got rocks thrown at me. It's out of control.
I haven't experienced that since I've been in Florida though.

This is just disgusting. Murdered because she didn't want some drunk strange man touching her.

We stopped attending years ago since there is always some ish but planned to go this year. We heard about the shootings and stayed away.

They should not end this tradition. The St. Patrick's day parade and Puerto Rican day parade both had a history of violence but they never considered ending either event.
Violence on one weekend should not mean ending a tradition. Nobody cares about the people who got shot the day before or day after, only those who were shot during the traditional Black community event.
I call BS. Mayor DeBlasio changed his tune quickly after some people talked about shutting it down.

This is awesome. These young men need direction. Does your friend have a webpage? Poor girl. She's protecting her body which is her right.

During my party days men used to offer me, my sisters and our friends a ride home. And these were North-African men who were probably muslim. Fast forward to today...and this is what happens at festivals? It's like a lady said: people just don't know how to have fun anymore, it's all about sex.

There is a meme all over FB of a young black woman with a banging body, passed out on a couch drunk after a party. It asks what would you do if you found her in your house and 90 % of the men said they would grope, touch, finger, hump etc before waking her up and tossing her out. That booty was too fine to pass up. Majority of the offenders were black men. I was so horrified. If I come across it again, I will post it here.
