Communities in Yonkers and New Rochelle are in mourning after the slaying of an Iona College student last weekend.

According to police, 19-year-old Brandan Lawrence, a freshman at Iona College and former Lincoln High School basketball star, was gunned down early Sunday morning by an acquaintance named Stivenson Desir.

Investigators have not disclosed a motive for the shooting, but say that Lawrence and his friends, including the shooter, piled into a car and ended up at Lincoln Park. A fight erupted between two people and, while police say Lawrence was not involved, he wound up dead.

Police say there did not appear to be any animosity between the suspect and victim.

Desir, 19, is behind bars on a murder charge. He is due back in court later this week.
