Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a Brooklyn man has been charged with second-degree Murder and other related charges for the fatal shooting of a 17- year-old high boy after an argument between two girls outside a school.
District Attorney Clark said, “The defendant allegedly shot the victim multiple times in the back in broad daylight because of a fight between their girlfriends. This is another example of a dispute escalating to a senseless death, because a gun was handy.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Terrell Loyd, 19, of East New York Avenue, Brooklyn, was indicted on second-degree Murder, first-degree Manslaughter, two counts of second-degree Criminal Possession of a Weapon and Criminal Possession of a Weapon on School Grounds. Loyd was arraigned on Friday, June 13, 2025, by Bronx Supreme Court Justice George Villegas and remanded. His next court date is September 22, 2025.
According to the investigation, on Thursday, March 7, 2024, at approximately 4 p.m. on the grounds of P.S. 157 Grove Hill Elementary School in the Woodstock section, Loyd’s girlfriend was involved in a fight with the girlfriend of Laquai Dash, 17, a Legacy High School student and football player. Dash tried to break it up, and Loyd allegedly pulled out a semiautomatic 9mm pistol and fired six shots, hitting Dash twice in the back. The incident was recorded on a surveillance camera. Dash was taken to NYC Health +Hospitals Lincoln where he later died. Loyd was arrested on May 21, 2025, by members of NYPD Bronx Warrant Squad.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detectives Colin Higgins and Kyle Keiser of the Bronx Homicide Squad, Detective Rossi Mata of the 40th Precinct Detective Squad and Detective Gary Capellan of the Bronx Warrants Violent Felony Squad.
An indictment is an accusatory instrument and not proof of a defendant’s guilt.
