Closing Bell: In Memoriam

Today marks one week since the shooting at Parkside Donut and Kennedy Fried Chicken, at 188 Parkside Avenue in Lefferts Gardens. An impromptu memorial has grown next door to the restaurant for Brian Scott, a.k.a. Cozmik, an 18-year-old rising star of urban inline skating. Two other men were shot, both in stable condition.
