Pasquale Raucci, also known as Paddy Duke, was among eight white men who were charged in the shooting death of Black teenager Hawkins. The incident is examined in the recently released HBO documentary Yusuf Hawkins: Storm Over Brooklyn. "After watching HBO's Storm over Brooklyn, HOT97 was shocked and took swift action," the radio station tweeted on Sunday. "Paddy Duke is no longer employed by HOT97. The march for social justice continues." Raucci was sentenced to probation and community service for possession of a bat as a weapon after he was initially charged with felony unlawful imprisonment.
