4-year-old boy dies after his schizophrenic older brother throws him off apartment building roof
Shawn Smith was charged with alleged murder on Saturday afternoon for leading his brother Shimron to the roof and then throwing him
When a 20-year-old man suffering from schizophrenia threw his four-year-old brother off a seven-story high building, his first reaction to his own action was to walk up to cops and straightaway confess his deeds. Following the death of the four-year-old, the family has released a smiling picture of the child and nothing can make our hearts break more.
The 20-year-old, Shawn Smith, led cops to where his brother's broken body lay in a trash-strewn Midwood courtyard. Smith reportedly said, "I just killed my brother — I took my brother up to the roof and I threw him off." Following the incident which took place at 2:45 am, Smith was charged with alleged murder on Saturday afternoon for leading his brother to the roof and then throwing him.
