Gov. Andrew Cuomo likened Carey Gabay, his murdered aide, to Jesus Christ in his eulogy Saturday — and called for earthly action in response.
[. . .]
Gabay, 43, who died on Sept. 16, was an innocent bystander caught in a crossfire and shot in the head at an early-morning J’Ouvert celebration before the Sept. 7 West Indian American Day Parade in Brooklyn.
[. . .]
Gabay, a Harvard-educated lawyer who grew up in public housing, was first deputy counsel for Empire State Development.
“This was an extraordinary, extraordinary human being,” Cuomo said outside. “He could have been making a million dollars at any law firm. Instead he is in public service.”

Carey W. Gabay ’94, a former president of Harvard's Undergraduate Council, died last Wednesday, after he was caught in the crossfire of a shooting in New York City the previous week. He was 43.
Gabay was attending a celebration before the West Indian American Day Parade in Brooklyn, N.Y., when the shooting began, according to The New York Times. He was declared brain-dead last Tuesday night and taken off a respirator.
Gabay’s classmates and co-representatives on the UC remember him as a dedicated and committed leader. Gabay’s devotion to public service did not end after his graduation—at the time of his death, Gabay worked as an administrative lawyer and aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. He graduated from the College and also attended Harvard Law School.
During his time at Harvard, Gabay served as UC president at one of the most diverse periods the Council had seen. When Gabay took office, he did so as one of the Council's first top African-American leaders.
