Monica Shay media coverage on Avenue A
EV Grieve correspondent samo notes the news trucks on the scene on Avenue A to capture the memorial for Monica Shay. Per samo: "nice to see how we as a community are banning together. just wish it didn't need to happen out of sadness."
Reminders tonight: Memorial in Tompkins Square Park for Monica Shay
Monica Shay died on Thursday after being shot last weekend at the Pennsylvania country home she shared with her husband Paul. She was 58. Tonight at 8, her friends and loved ones will gather in Tompkins Square Park for a memorial vigil.
As The Villager noted, she and her husband Paul, who is expected to recover, were prominent neighborhood activists. "They helped the East Village squatters who took over city-owned buildings in the 1980s. They also supported the encampment that homeless people set up in Tompkins Square Park."
The memorial will be held at Seventh Street and Avenue A at the entrance to the Park.
