New York City police say they've made an arrest in the death of an aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo who was caught in the crossfire between two gangs last year.

Carey Gabay was shot in the head in September during a pre-dawn party celebrating the West Indian Day Parade.

The 43-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer was a first deputy general counsel at the Empire State Development Corp.

Micah Alleyne was arraigned Friday and held without bail. His attorney declined to comment.

The Brooklyn district attorney's office says more arrests are expected in the case.
