A Brooklyn gang
member was arrested for
possessing weapons and
ammunition that was
used in a gang-related
shooting that killed a
member of Gov. Andrew
Cuomo’s staff back in
2015, prosecutors announced
on Aug. 31.
Stanely Elianor, 29,
was charged with being
a felon in possession of
a fi rearm and ammunition
while having previously
been convicted of
a crime punishable by
a term of imprisonment
exceeding one year. In
October 2009, Elianor,
a known member of the
Folk Nation gang, had
been convicted of two
counts of attempted
criminal possession of
a weapon in New York
state court.
According to charges,
in the early hours of
Sept. 7, 2015, Elianor allegedly
attended the
J’ouvert culture festival
with other Folk Nation
gang members and
members of Hood Starz,
who was allied with Folk
Nation. The group allegedly
engaged in a shootout
with the rival Crips
street gang outside the
Ebbets Field Houses in
Crown Heights.
In the shootout, Carey
Gabay, an aide to Cuomo,
was struck in the head
by a stray bullet. Gabay
ultimately died of his injuries
on Sept. 15, 2015.
“Repeat offenders
who possess fi rearms
present an extreme danger
to the community as
this case tragically demonstrates
with the senseless
killing of Carey
Gabay,” stated Acting
United States Attorney
Seth D. DuCharme.
“This Offi ce and our law
enforcement partners
are doing everything in
our power to take guns
out of the hands of violent
felons as a measure
to prevent the senseless
loss of life.”
During the gun battle,
Elianor allegedly
possessed a .45 caliber
Masterpiece Arms handgun
which was recovered
by the NYPD. The
fi rearm has a large capacity
magazine and was
loaded with 27 rounds of
ammunition.
If convicted, Elianor
faces up to 10 years behind
bars.
