A 17-year-old Brooklyn girl beaten into a coma in front of her younger brother died of her injuries Tuesday night, authorities and her family said.
Ta’Jae Warner was declared brain dead Sunday after she was beaten late Friday outside the Ocean Towers in Coney Island. The 17-year-old died Tuesday night.
Family friends said she was kept on life support at Bellevue Hospital so out-of-state relatives could say their goodbyes, and for organ donation.
Sarina Agard-Forde, 18, is accused of pummeling Ta’Jae in the head until she lost consciousness. She’s charged with felony and misdemeanor assault, though prosecutors expect to bring more serious charges, said a Brooklyn district attorney’s office spokeswoman.
Family friend Lissette Pizarro saidTa’Jae was walking her 11-year-old brother to the store when a group of teens approached, made a remark and then attacked her.

The William E. Grady High School sophomore loved colorful outfits and performed dance routines with a group of classmates.
“She was very kind-hearted, loving, outgoing,” Pizarro said.
Community activist Tony Herbert on Tuesday called on anyone else involved in the assault to surrender to police.
“A 17-year-old girl was attacked by people who looked just like her, you know. Black lives matter,” Herbert said in a Facebook video post.
OMG I’m lost for words right now. :berduka :berduka

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents. Ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious, gossips without self control brutal haters of good. Treacherous, reckless, conceited. Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. This is the generation of vipers
Funny how folks saddened by this when so many love to talk bout beating or kicking ppl fi solve issues. When di beating lead to death suddenly it sad. Stop supporting violence in all its forms and shit like dis won’t happen, except fi self-defense ain’t no reason fi violence to be used. Stop supporting violence in all its forms, from music to film to video games, every time you consume and enjoy violence you create more of it in di world. Stop beating your children like wild animals and teaching them violence is OK.
Well said!! These kids see adults doing the same thing and emulate them. How many fights have been put up on this site on a regular basis?
Boy whey UNNU woulda do if this site don’t SHIT fi unnu eat???? Whey unnu start pon di woman site fa give ur condolences n wait for the opportune time to come with that no u no see fighting pon public telly abc fox etc n all u do is switch u station so follow suit n skip this site to. Unnu no feel good if unnu attack one day BUT Y R U HERE STILL?????? FOH man kmft
A mussy me set di people dem fi fight and tell dem fi carry on fight. Mi nuh know whey dem a do yah. Everyday dem get up and log on..Mi tired fi tell dem mi doe send call dem
We have to start owning our minds and not because something put before us means wi have to consume it, many ppl have no self-control if it is before them then they feel they must consume it. What happened to this teen should never have happened, but that culture breeds and applaud violence so what outcome can they expect? Jamaican culture is the same, settle scores with violence and it is applauded by many.
Wow…this is terrible sigh condolences goes out to the family
This is really they need to be charge with murder no exceptions
Unbelievable, so many lives destroyed and for what? That little brother is going to need serious therapy cuz all his life he may feel guilty, like I didn’t do enough to help; even though he is a kid himself.
Satan ave di young demon dem busy….SIP BABYGIRL..
#12 with the best comment by far…. You people celebrate violence and war daily but when you see the other side of it, you get sad and remorseful. Like #12 stated the only form of violence that should be accepted is self-defense, and not another form more. I hope GOD can give this family all the strength they need to get past this brazen act and I hope that the young princess who was beaten senselessly can achieve some sort of solace in heaven. Let’s teach our children to solve disputes with their mind and communication skills as oppose to with violence and ignorance.
BBC #BLACK PEOPLE WAKE UP
Condolences to the family. All the the comments are valid. People wake up this is really senseless. This could be anyone’s child.
Coney Island, tough crowd to this day my daughter will not set foot over there cos of a bully name Queen. RIP
This young lady walking with her younger brother and she’s not bothering no one and a bunch of ruff neck kids come provoke a fight with the young lady which lead up to her death… These young attackers need to be held accountable for their actions… These young kids do things and then after it goes wrong then they want to cry and say they didn’t mean to do it etc… They need to get the maximum punishment possible… They need to be held accountable all of them that played a role and set example to these young men and women that their actions will get them behind bars for many, many years and even under ground they keep it up… Such a senseless killing and the pain this young lady had to endure and the pain left on her brother and family… God come and help our young people please… May her soul rest in peace… My condolences goes out to her family…
