A Brooklyn teenager wrongly accused by police in a fatal shooting at a parade last year is speaking out about the last several terrifying months of experiencing threats.

In a statement sent to news outlets Sunday, the NYPD said an image it circulated on social media of Camden Lee, a 15-year-old Brooklyn resident, “mistakenly stated that he was wanted for the fatal shooting” at the West Indian American Day Parade in September.

After the NYPD stated that 15-year-old Camden Lee was a person of interest in a mass shooting, it became aware that he was no longer a suspect in the case. Instead of informing the press and public, the NYPD knowingly withheld the information despite pleas from the Lee family.

The police posted photos of Camden Lee, 16, on social media and said he was wanted for the shooting. Only after five months did they admit they were wrong.

A New York teen is trying to put his life back together after he was wrongly identified as a suspect in a mass shooting.

In its updated statement, the police department said the 15-year-old teen was a “person of interest” in the shooting, which remains unsolved,

New York City police apologized for mistakenly accusing a teenager of a fatal shooting at a Brooklyn parade, then failing to retract the false allegation for nearly five months, despite knowing it was incorrect.
