Keith Powell

Keith Powell was killed in a hit-and-run by a stolen vehicle drag racing with another car along Avenue L and E 92nd street. Keith was well-known in his neighborhood; he bought ice cream for children every Sunday and was on his weekly when he was killed. He had emigrated from Jamaica eight years prior and was hoping to buy a home and start a family with his wife. A family friend and neighbor described Powell as, “a peaceful, calm and spiritual man who loved kids”.
