Stephanie Abney says she knows who killed her 20-year-old son, Fabian, last August. But she is still waiting for the New York Police Department to solve the case another unsolved murder in a city grappling with a surge of gun violence amid the pandemic.
As the months wear on since Fabian’s murder, Ms. Abney says she has grown frustrated with the police. “I told the detective, ‘I don’t want you to call me unless you have someone in custody,’” she said in a phone interview. “Fabian wasn’t perfect. But he was an amazing kid.”
