A Buffalo man has been indicted in the fatal shooting of a 14-year-old boy and the wounding of three other youths last week while he was refereeing a fight between two girls at the Kenfield-Langfield public housing complex on Buffalo’s East Side and got into a fight.
Joseph P. Gant, 28, who was arrested last week on one count of second-degree murder and three counts of first-degree assault...
Raymond Floyd Patterson III, 14, was killed on a footbridge over the Kensington Expressway linking the housing complex to Roosevelt Park as he tried to flee. Patterson and the three wounded youths were all bystanders, police said.

“The parents were egging on the girls to fight it out,” a police source said.
Neighbors who witnessed the fight from their apartments said a crowd of 30 to 40 young people formed around the two combatants; curious motorists pulled over to watch...
Just before the gunfire, a man, perhaps between 20 and 30 years old, had tried to keep others from crossing the footbridge into the parking lot to watch the fight, according to authorities. When one of the spectators objected, a fight started between them and the man trying to limit spectators pulled out a gun and shot at the crowd indiscriminately, authorities said.
