Police continue to investigate the September 10th murder of 17 year-old Deandre Nembhard, and the investigators may be making headway.

They have identified a person of interest, but they need witnesses who are willing to come forward and give them solid evidence to lay charges. Today, Eastern Division South Commander Chester Williams explained the difficulty that they are having:

Daniel Ortiz
"Sir we understand also the investigators may have some of interest for the murder of Deandre Nembhard; what details can you share with us?"

ACP Chester Williams - Regional Commander, Eastern Division South
"In respect to the murder of Deandre Nembhard yes we have a suspect in custody but you would know the fact that the person has not yet been charged we are not sure yes he is the person because while people out there may be telling us things verbally no one has given us anything in writing for us to be able to say you know we have tangible evidence so suggest that this is the person who did it. So in the absence of that I will not be releasing the name of that person to the media."

Nembhard was shot and killed at his Aunt and Uncle’s house on Croton Lane.
