Rite Aid paints over a memorial on Avenue D

In late September, friends of 22-year-old Makever “Keba” Brown created a memorial for him along the wall of Rite Aid on Avenue D...



On Sept. 13, Brown was struck and killed on the FDR during a police pursuit, as DNAinfo reported.

Several readers have since pointed out that Rite Aid has painted over the tributes...

  1. And your point is...they shouldn't have painted over this ? It's not a tribute it's graffitti, a crime actually.

  2. Sorry to hear about the loss, but it is Rite Aid's property. They have every right not to want that on their building.
