Boston Blotter: More Details in Roxbury Shooting

033107_body_outline.jpg-- More details have emerged in the fatal shooting Saturday of a 22-year-old Roxbury man. Authorities revealed that the victim was Cheickoumar Kake, a Roxbury native who had just returned to town after living in Maryland. Kake was a resident of the Academy Homes apartment complex, where he was killed during a community cookout. Though police have been investigating a gang beef between groups based in Academy Homes and the nearby Bromley Heath housing complex, investigators have not called the killing gang-related. Kake's uncle denies that his nephew was involved in the gang. One Academy Homes teenager was quoted in the Globe saying, "There's definitely going to be a war here in the summer." [Globe]
