New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo delivered the eulogy at the funeral of Carey Gabay.
The governor's aide died September 15th of injuries sustained during a shooting in the early morning hours September 7th.
In his remarks Saturday morning, Cuomo said "Carey's life and Carey's death is a telling story with a timely message and a call to action. His death was one of the most tragic, pointless examples of the rampant violence that is spreading like a cancer through our society, especially in our poorer communities and especially in our communities of color."
Gabay was a member of the Cuomo administration for four years, and most recently served as First Deputy General Counsel at Empire State Development.
