Day: February 17, 2025

A Williamsburg music venue will host a benefit concert this Friday in support of those who lost everything in the recent Los Angeles wildfires.

On Feb. 21, Baby’s All Right will host “Baby’s Presents: LA Wildfire Benefit Show,” in partnership with HDA x Kerosene MGMT and Tallulah PR. The event will raise funds for the victims of the catastrophic fires, which have caused widespread destruction across parts of Los Angeles, displacing thousands and leaving countless homes and businesses in ruins.

The night will feature performances from Sabrina Song, Miette Hope, Loose Buttons, B.Miles, and Slow Bird. Doors open at 6 p.m., with the show starting at 6:30 p.m. This is a 21+ event.

Since the fires began, individuals and organizations around the world have rallied to provide aid to those impacted. As the fires raged on, Time Out Market New York partnered with Red Cross Wildfire Relief to donate 100% of proceeds from two select drinks — the Blueberry Margarita and the Cucumber & Jalapeño Spritz mocktail — to help survivors.

Now, as Californians pick up the pieces, the Baby’s All Right benefit concert offers Brooklynites another meaningful way to contribute to the ongoing relief efforts.

Tickets start at $20, with 100% of proceeds going to Mutual Aid LA to support those affected by the fires. A QR code will be available on-site for those who wish to donate during the event.

In a post promoting the show, performer B.Miles said simply, “love you LA.”

A teenager was arrested Sunday and charged with manslaughter for the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old cheerleader from Brooklyn in a Holliswood home on Saturday.

Police from the 107th Precinct in Fresh Meadows responded to a 911 call of a female shot at 87-25 Clover Place just before 5:15 p.m., where they found the victim unconscious and unresponsive with a gunshot wound to her head. EMS rushed the girl to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

She was later identified as Deaza Barkley, 17, of Sutter Avenue in the City Line section of Brooklyn, and her fatal shooting was deemed a homicide, police said Monday morning. The 16-year-old boy, who was taken into custody as a person of interest at the Holliswood home, was arrested at the 107th Precinct late Sunday night and charged with manslaughter for accidentally shooting the girl, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the homicide investigation.

The teen, who was not identified because he is a minor, was also charged with criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm. An NYPD spokeswoman could not say if the shooter lived at the Clover Place house because he is a juvenile. She added that it had not yet been determined who owned the firearm.

The homicide investigation remains ongoing.
