McClean
WHITE PLAINS – A Mount Vernon man was arraigned on Thursday on murder and attempted murder charges when he shot and killed an innocent woman.
The indictment against Rahsi McClean, 26, alleges that he opened fire at a man with who he had an ongoing dispute at around 9:40 p.m. on August 8, 2011. The victim, Gloria Nartey, was walking home from the train station carrying groceries when she was shot in the back of the head and killed.
Nartey was a graduate of SUNY Plattsburgh and was working as a research scientist at Pepsi at the time of her murder.
Police conducted an intensive search for close to five years resulting in the charges being brought against McClean, who had been in state prison on an unrelated violent assault that occurred in Mount Vernon.
McClean was charged with murder, attempted murder, assault, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon and intimidating a victim or witness. If convicted, he faces up to 15 to 25 years in state prison.
