Queens bus-slay ‘target’ is warned: ‘You’re next’
Paul Martinka
A bullet hole in the window of a bus where D’aja Robinson was
killed in Queens. Another girl on the bus got a text message that read,
'You're next,' after the slaying.
A girl riding a Queens bus with 14-year-old D’aja Robinson when she was fatally shot in the head later received a terrifying text
message: “You’re next,” law-enforcement sources told The Post yesterday.
Cops believe the unidentified girl who got the message had been the real target of a gunman who shot up the Q6 bus Saturday, killing D’aja, the sources said.
Police believe the shooting was prompted by a rivalry between two gangs, the sources said.
The girl who got the text is friendly with members of the EBK gang, while the shooter is a member of the rival Snow Gang, the sources said.
Cops tried to question the text message’s recipient, but she was not cooperative, the sources said.
Investigators have also identified several “persons of interest” in the killing.
“We have a couple of people ID’d that we want to talk to, including one possible shooter,” a source told The Post, adding that cops had gotten four solid tips and a photo from Crime Stoppers.
A former schoolmate of D’aja, Keshawna Wallace, 13, said people in the Jamaica neighborhood believe they know who the gunman is.
“People kind of had an idea of who it was,” Keshawna said.
“If the police don’t find him, the south side of Jamaica will. We’re not going to stop until we find the person who killed D’aja.”
The popular teen’s angry grandfather called the callous thug who opened fire on the crowded bus “a stupid kid doing stupid s--t” and predicted the killer “will be caught sooner or later.”

Authorities tracked shooting suspect Kevin McClinton, 21, to a small town near Columbia, S.C., sources say.
The accused killer of a 14-year-old girl — who was fatally shot by a stray bullet while riding a Queens bus last month — was nabbed in South Carolina, law enforcement sources told the Daily News.
A team of officers with the NYPD and the U.S. Marshal's Regional Fugitive Task Force cuffed Kevin McClinton, 21, in a small town just outside the state's capital of Columbia, the sources said.

Investigators believe McClinton was aiming for another teenaged girl when he squeezed off at least nine rounds into the side of the Q6 bus in Jamaica, Queens, on May 18, cops said.
One of the bullets hit D'aja Robinson in the head. The teen had just left a friend's Sweet 16 party
and was going to another pal's birthday bash when she died.

Sources said McClinton is a member of the Snow gang, and the intended target was friendly with members of a rival street crew, EBK. The unidentified girl had made derogatory statements about McClinton's gang, the sources said.
Investigators tracked him down to South Carolina after several anonymous tipsters called the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hot line.
