Esther Henry can’t forget that horrible night in 2012. Something had happened downstairs in the hallway of her Bronx apartment building — something bad.
“I received a knock on my door that my son — my only son — was shot,” she said.
By the time Henry threw on some clothes and ran downstairs, paramedics had already taken away her son’s bullet-ravaged body.
Norman Lodge, 32, was never involved in any illegal activities and was arrested only once in his teens for “drinking a beer outside with peers,” Henry said. However, police at the time said Lodge had 19 prior arrests on gun, drug, burglary and other charges, according to a New York Daily News article.
Henry says the Daily News confused her son with someone else and that he was never arrested on any charges other than the teenage beer charge.
