Former Companion of An NBA Star Shot Dead on Clifton Place & Bedford Avenue

Posted on December 8, 2009 by The Progressive Southside

Various news sources have reported that 51 year-old Audrey Johnson, who was once a companion of former NBA Star World B. Free, was shot and killed in front of her building while checking on a dispute.  In sarcasm – after reading the New York Times blog of the story, I like how some of the comments focused not on the actual tragedy or crime, but whether the incident occurred in Bed-Stuy or Clinton Hill.   The neighborhood border battle continues.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the report. Heard the police helicopters last night and wondered what had happened. I am very familiar with that stretch of Clifton Place, in fact walk it every other day (and occasionally night) so very sad to hear about the shooting.
    And yes, the ‘debate’ about neighborhood borders in the comments section was truly amazing.
