Teens' play "Yesterday I Died" documents murder of a PLG boy

From today's Daily News:

A group of Brooklyn actors has taken a series of murders of young people in the borough for the play "Yesterday I Died." The play will run this weekend in a Bedford-Stuyvesant church.

The monologues and vignettes feature murder cases that captured much media attention - like Chanel Petro-Nixon, 16, strangled to death and stuffed in a garbage bag in Crown Heights over Father's Day weekend in 2006, and Robert Grant, 19, shot to death on Christmas Eve in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens in 2007.

I believe this shooting actually occurred in Clinton Hill on Lefferts Place, not in PLG: http://savebrooklynnow.blogspot.com/2007/12/christmas-eve-double-homicide-on.html

Yeah, it's true. Robert Grant was from Bed-Stuy, and that's where the shooting occurred: http://wcbstv.com/local/christmas.eve.murders.2.617596.html
